This Forum provides an excellent opportunity for national leaders and captains of industry to sit down and work together in charting a road map for regional cooperation,and this years themeAsia reaching for Win-Win,New Role of Asia is only too apt. I am confident that such cooperation will help achieve for our people a life of dignity,free from hunger,disease and poverty.
