A sea change is unfolding in the world of international development cooperation. Emerging powers, particularly China and India, are increasing their aid rapidly, while aid from traditional donors is stagnating.

Why have Asian countries expanded their development cooperation activities? What do they think of the UN Millennium Development Goals? And what should replace them? Is the G20 development agenda relevant? What is the future of the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank?

At this unique forum, hear from, and ask questions of senior development cooperation officials and experts from China, India, Korea and Indonesia including:

> Xiaojing Mao, Deputy Director and Associate Research Fellow, Department of Development Assistance, Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation (CAITEC), Ministry of Commerce, China

> Wenping He, Professor, Director, African Studies Section, Institute of West Asian and African Studies, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS)

> Hyunghwan Joo, Deputy Minister, Ministry of Strategy and Finance, Government of Korea

> Wonhyuk Lim, Director, Global Economy Research, Center for International Development, Korea Development Institute

> Kumar Tuhin, Joint Secretary, Development Partnership Administration II, Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India

> Sachin Chaturvedi, Senior Fellow, Research and Information System for Developing Countries, New Delhi, India

> Arianto Patunru, Fellow, Arndt-Corden Department of Economics, Crawford School of Public Policy, ANU

> Robin Davies, Visiting Fellow, Development Policy Centre, Crawford School of Public Policy, ANU

> Annmaree O’Keeffe, Research Associate, Development Policy Centre, Crawford School of Public Policy, ANU

> Raden Siliwanti, Director, Political Affairs and Communication, National Development Planning Agency (BAPPENAS), Indonesia

This forum is presented by the Development Policy Centre at the Crawford School of Public Policy at The Australian National University and the Asia Foundation.
