Fourth United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries - Istanbul, Turkey
9-13 May 2011

From 09-05-2011 to 13-05-2011 (Turkey) 

«The Fourth United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries, to be held in Istanbul, Turkey from 9 to 13 May 2011, is an excellent opportunity to take stock of action for the word’s least developed countries and to strengthen our commitment in their favour. The stakes are high. This is a struggle for human dignity, and against the dehumanizing conditions of poverty and hunger. UNESCO is contributing to this by assisting the least developed countries through education, the science, culture and communication and information.”

Irina Bokova, UNESCO Director-General
