The Fourth United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries
is held in Istanbul, on 9-13 May. Representatives from 192 countries,
several thousands of scientists, and NGO employees participate in it.
As ITAR-TASS reports, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon,
speaking at the opening of the summit, said that the conference,
organised every ten years, is an opportunity for the Least Developed
Countries to work out valuable and long term methods for economic
development. Turkish President Abdullah Gul drew the attention of the
participants to the circumstance the 13 percent of world population
is from the Least Developed Countries, however, the portion of the
economy of those countries is only 1 percent in the world economy.
As we have already informed, Armenian and Israeli presidents,
among the others, do not participate in this conference. Declining
the invitation of the president Gul, Shimon Peres underlined that
the summit coincides with an Israeli national holiday and he can
not leave the country. The Armenian president in his turn did not
participate in the conference in Istanbul, instead he took part in
the celebrities dedicated to the liberation of Shushi.
