註釋
This highly readable book, written by Jyoti Shankar Singh, traces the history of how Asian Parliamentarians have built up over the last two decades the Asian Forum of Parliamentarians on Population and Development (AFPPD) as a strong and effective regional organization, devoted to meeting the population and development challenges facing the Asia and Pacific region. It also documents the main activities of national parliamentary groups on population and development. In point of fact, many of these groups were established with the assistance of AFPPD itself. The book also points out the important role that AFPPD has played in promoting regional cooperation in other parts of the world and in organizing a large number of international conferences that focused on the global UN conferences dealing with population, women and sustainable development issues. In its last chapter, the book summarizes the accomplishments of AFPPD and its national committees and outlines the challenges before them in fulfilling the goals and objectives of the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD). The book, in my view, is essential reading for all those interested in population and development issues in Asia and the Pacific. I highly commend it to my parliamentary colleagues.Yoshio YatsuMember of Parliament, JapanChairman, Asian Forum of Parliamentarians on Population and Development (AFPPD)
