The Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) in collaboration with the Government of Cambodia, is organising this dialogue for ministers and senior officials from 12 Asia-Pacific LDCs, plus Yemen. Policy makers will discuss implementation of the Istanbul Programme of Action (IPoA) on LDCs for the period 2011-2020. The meeting will adopt a draft outcome document to be presented to the Special Body on LDCs, Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDCs) and small island developing States (SIDS) at ESCAP's 71st session, for consideration as the basis for the regional mid-term review of the IPoA.
