The secretary executive of UN ESCAP says Cambodia provides a good
example of the innovation and leadership that will be required by Asia-Pacific
countries in the next phase of rebalancing growth and economic development.
Describing this as having been a first phase of economic development –
focused on jobs and growth, the Under-Secretary-General observed that Cambodia
is on track to achieve the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) of halving extreme
poverty by 2015. In the process Cambodia has also made great progress in, for
instance, halving infant mortality rates between 2000 and 2010.
The Under-Secretary-General also held talks with the Prime Minister,
Deputy Prime Ministers and a number of senior Cabinet Ministers on issues
ranging from regional economic integration, to energy security, women’s
empowerment and improving regional trade links.
