IPOH: For the first time ever, the fourth series of the Pangkor Dialogue will see the participation of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) as a strategic partner. IDR chief executive officer Dr Mazalan Kamis said the dialogue achieved another milestone this year as this was the first time UNDP would participate in it. “I believe UNDP has seen our achievement in organising this event as the outcome of the dialogue provides recommendations for the benefit of all stakeholders, and not only those in Perak. With the theme “Making the Future: Innovative Pathways to Sustainable Development”, the dialogue will feature a large-scale gathering of international and local dignitaries, academicians, investors and non-governmental organisations. Previously known as the Pangkor International Development Dialogue, the programme is the brainchild of Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir.
