The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) celebrated its
60th anniversary on 28 March with a special commemorative programme in Bangkok, Thailand.
"We have chosen 'Building an Asia-Pacific Century' as the theme for our celebration as a statement
of our commitment to the future of this region," says UNESCAP Executive Secretary Kim Hak-Su.
"When we envision an 'Asia-Pacific Century,' we see continuing economic prosperity and a dramatic
improvement in the quality of life of ordinary people."
