Agenda item 97
Sustainable development and international economic cooperation
(c) High-level dialogue on strengthening international economic cooperation for development through partnership
The President
The General Assembly will begin the high-level dialogue on the overall theme entitled "Responding to globalization: facilitating the integration of developing countries into the world economy in the twenty-first century", in accordance with the decision taken by the General Assembly at its 3rd plenary meeting, on 19 September 2001, and pursuant to resolution 55/193 of 20 December 2000 and to the decision taken at its 1st plenary meeting, on 12 September 2001.
In accordance with resolution 55/193, the high-level dialogue shall consist of plenary meetings, ministerial round-table meetings and informal panels, with the participation of non-governmental actors.
I should now like to recall for members that, at the 3rd plenary meeting of the General Assembly, held yesterday, it was announced that in addition to plenary meetings, two ministerial round tables-cum-informal panels will be held today.
The first ministerial round table-cum-informal panel will be held this morning from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Conference Room 3 and will be on the sub-theme entitled "Enhancing the integration of developing countries in the emerging global information network, facilitating access to information and communication technology for developing countries".
The second ministerial round table-cum-informal panel will be held this afternoon from 3.30 to 5.30 p.m., also in Conference Room 3, and will be on the sub-theme entitled "Promoting the integration of developing countries into the world economy and generating new public and private financing resources to complement development efforts".
Following consultations, I have the pleasure to appoint Mr. Elias Gounaris, Permanent Representative of Greece to the United Nations, as the Chairman of the first ministerial round table-cum-informal panel, and Mr. Eladio Loizaga, Permanent Representative of Paraguay to the United Nations, as its Rapporteur.
For the second ministerial round table-cum-informal panel, I have the pleasure to appoint Mr. Dumisani Shadrack Kumalo, Permanent Representative of South Africa to the United Nations, as its Chairman, and Mr. Ion Botnaru, Permanent Representative of the Republic of Moldova to the United Nations, as its Rapporteur.
By Assembly resolution 55/193, the General Assembly requested the President of the General Assembly to continue preparations for the high-level dialogue. In that connection, I should like to propose that the Rapporteurs present a summary of the discussions in their respective ministerial round table-cum-informal panels at the concluding meeting of the high-level dialogue.
Shall I take it that the Assembly agrees to that proposal?
The President
Members will further recall that, pursuant to the same resolution, the final outcome of the high-level dialogue will be a summary by the President, to be presented at the closure of the event.
