September 7, 2007—September 8, 2007. CAREC senior officials to meet in Manila

Senior officials of the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Program will meet in Manila. Delegations from the eight participating countries – Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Mongolia and China - that comprise CAREC will attend. CAREC is a pragmatic, results-oriented program established by the abovementioned eight countries and six multilateral institutions – ADB, EBRD, International Monetary Fund, Islamic Development Bank, UNDP and the World Bank - in 1997 that seeks to promote development through cooperation, leading to accelerated economic growth and poverty reduction. In 2006-2008, multilateral donors plan to extend 42 loans for over US$2.3 billion to CAREC to support regional investments in the spheres of transportation, energy and trade.
