This Reports is unique in its scope and timeliness. It is a platform for Asia-Pacific LDCs to voice their view. It draws the attention of the international community to the challenges faced by these countries, seeking the support required to ensure that all countries in the region attain their MDGs. The concept for this Reports emerged at a workshop conducted by our organizations on the progress toward the attainment of the MDGs in Siem Reap, Cambodia, 1-3 October 2004. The recommendations contained in the Reports were endorsed at the inter-governmental level at the Seventh Session of the Special Body on Least Developed and Landlocked Developing Countries, Bangkok, 10-11 May 2005 -- Publisher's site
