Summary: In 1997, the General Assembly, in its resolution 52/187 on the implementation of the Programme of Action for the Least Developed Countries for the 1990s, decided to convene the Third United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries in 2001. In resolution 53/182, it designated the Secretary-General of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) as the Secretary-General of the Conference and requested him to make all necessary preparations for the Conference. As part of that preparatory process, a Consultative Forum was established by the Secretary-General of the Conference, comprising representatives of the United Nations system and other international organizations, member States and the private sector. Its first meeting was held at the Palais des Nations, Geneva, from 21 to 22 July 1999. The meeting was opened by Mr. Rubens Ricupero, Secretary-General of UNCTAD and of the Conference, and chaired by Mrs. Anna K. Tibaijuka, UNCTAD Special Coordinator for LDCs and Executive Secretary of the Conference. The meeting had before it a note prepared by the UNCTAD secretariat entitled "Preparatory process for the Third United Nations Conference on the Least Developed Countries" (UNCLDC/III/1)
