Where does Asia stand a decade after the Asian financial crisis? What are the challenges to Asian integration? How will the developing economies of Asia adapt to the vast changes underway in the region?
Finance Ministers, senior government officials, leaders, academics, and representatives of international organizations will gather in Kyoto, Japan to discuss these and other issues during ADB's 40th Annual Meeting of the Board of Governors in May.
The event, to be held from May 4 to 7, will take place at the Kyoto International Conference Center. Online registration for journalists has been extended until April 20 and will be required for access to the sessions, seminars and meeting venues.
