| The Asia-Pacific Regional Preparatory Meeting to the Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD) 2010 took place at the United Nations Conference Centre, Bangkok, from 22 to 24 September 2010. It was organized by the Asia-Pacific Regional Thematic Working Group on International Migration including Human Trafficking, which comprises United Nations and affiliated organizations.
Endorsed by all countries present at the Meeting, the Bangkok Statement on Migration and Development stresses that migrant workers are development actors and contribute by way of remittances, skills, culture and labour to states of origin, transit and destination. It highlights the region’s great diversity in levels of development and sizes of countries, resulting in migration taking many forms, as well as the increased complexity in managing migration in the region-many countries being simultaneously sending, transit and receiving countries.
