LDCs have to look for more options including searching for more markets for their products, more employment for workers, more investments to develop infrastructure and better access to technology from the upcoming Istanbul Conference, said Dr Debapriya Bhattacharya, Distinguished Fellow of CPD in a press briefing on 23 November 2010, at the CPD office. And for that they have to prepare themselves really well, he added. CPD organised the press briefing prior to holding the International Dialogue titled Exploring a New Global Partnership for the LDCs in the Context of the UN LDC IV on 24-26 November 2010. Professor Mustafizur Rahman, Executive Director of CPD; Mr Carlos E Alvarez, Deputy Director of OECD Development Centre; Dr Anna Batyra, Coordinator, Development Finance Network (DeFiNe), OECD Development Centre; and Dr Fahmida Khatun, Head of Research, CPD were present at the session and briefed the media about the significance of the UN LDC IV Conference for countries such as Bangladesh and the importance of the Dhaka dialogue in this context. They mentioned that based on the three-day discussions an outcome document will be prepared containing the summary of the major issues discussed and the key recommendations which would be put forward, and fed into the national preparatory process of the LDCs, shared with relevant actors in the international development community, and provided to the UN Office of High Representatives for the LDCs (OHRLLS). Talking about OECD Development Centre’s interest for organising the Dhaka dialogue, Mr Alvarez reiterated that OECD is committed to support the endeavors of the LDCs towards development of their economies through aid, trade and other forms of support.
