The 5th Asia Media Summit in 2008, which has been scheduled on 27-28 May in Kuala Lumpur, will promote a varied and dynamic mix of content and format to enhance knowledge sharing and participation.

Participation for the Summit, one of the premier communication events in Asia-Pacific, is expected from more than 500 high-ranking government officials, policymakers, media owners and practitioners, academic and senior representatives from development institutions in 60 countries from Asia, Pacific, Africa, America and Europe.

The Summit provides a platform to discuss the role of media in development, particularly in addressing issues such as poverty alleviation, information gaps, and women’s rights. It also provides a view into ways on how media can further the search for open dialogue and a culture of peace.
