AMMY V
From 23rd to 27th April 2007, Singapore will be the epicenter for
youth discussion in the region. ASEAN Ministers and representatives
from various youth organisations will come together in the 5th
ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on Youth (AMMY V), establishing ties and
addressing the interests of youths. This is the first time that
Singapore is hosting the AMMY.
The 1st ASEAN + 3 (China, Japan and Korea) Ministerial Meeting on
Youth and the 2nd ASEAN +1 (China) Ministering Meeting on Youth
will also be held in conjunction with AMMY V. The Ministerial
Meetings will bear the theme “Youth: Creating Our Future Together”,
and around 300 youths will be involved in the proceedings. Through
the meetings, ASEAN + 3 will develop joint action plans to engage
youths, maximise their potential and harness their energies in
society.
2007 is an exciting year for ASEAN, as it celebrates its 40th
Anniversary. AMMY V is one in a series of commemmorative events
that Singapore will be organising, as it takes over the
chairmanship of ASEAN this year. The celebrations will lead up to
the 13th ASEAN Summit to be held in November this year.
