LID 2011 TO REINFORCE DIALOGUE'S RELEVANCE
By R. Ravichandran
PUTRAJAYA, June 17 (Bernama) -- Deliberations on socio-economic
transformation at the Langkawi International Dialogue 2011 (LID 2011), beginning Sunday, will further reinforce its relevance amid current global challenges.
"A lot of effort has been put to ensure the deliberation at this year's LID will not only be interesting but further fortify LID's relevance," said Deputy Foreign Minister A. Kohilan Pillay.
Speaking at the opening of the International Media Centre (IMC) for LID 2011, which will be hosted by Prime Minister Najib Razak, he said it incorporated four main sessions.
They include dialogue forums which comprised interactive sessions between leaders and participants on three main topics.
Kohilan said the deliberations and outcome of the Dialogue needed to be shared and highlighted, for which the media would have a crucial role to play.
The IMC is located at Hall 6, Concourse Level, Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC).
On the three main topics, Kohilan said they were 'Realising National Visions Through Socio-Economic Transformation', 'Innovative Financing for Transformation' and 'Poverty Eradication'.
Another would be the 'Retreat Session' during which the leaders are expected to take stock of the decisions made during the past LIDs and discuss the Dialogue's future direction.
In the 'Dialogue in the Field Session', the deputy minister said
participants would be involved in field visits and workshops at various venues in related areas based on five sub-issues, and report on the outcome to the leaders during the plenary session.
The three-day LID 2011 begins on June 19 in Putrajaya. It will be preceded by the Business Forum and Exhibition, a day earlier.
The LID theme this year is 'Enhancing Smart Partnership for Socio-Economic Transformation'.
It will focus on efforts to transform and advance the Smart Partnership dialogue towards enhancing socio-economic development of the participating countries.
Kohilan said, at the last LID in Uganda, many leaders had expressed interest to see Putrajaya's development.
"The government favourably considered the request and therefore, decided to change the venue here," he added.
