World Population Day

11 July was ‘World Population Day.’ This event was observed in all parts of the world. The day provided a much needed point of reflection for a planet where population programs become more and more vital to its continued survival. Asia witnessed several parliamentarian initiatives to mark the occasion.

  • In Thailand, Sen. Prof. Dr. Prasop Ratanakorn, Secretary General of AFPPD and Chairman of the Senate Committee on Public Health, in a statement to fellow parliamentarians: gave special emphasis on small family and women’s education initiatives.

  • In India, both the President and the Prime Minister released statements urging the need for family planning. K.R. Narayanan, President of India, specifically asked elected representatives, up to the Panchayat level, to work with renewed vigor, commitment and dedication to the aim of population stabilization. In this spirit, a pledge was signed by the Minister and elected representatives.
  • In Vietnam, the Vietnamese Association of Parliamentarians for Population and Development (VAPPD) reminded its members about the economic aspects of population growth and the need for population planning and development.

  • In Japan, AFPPD Chairman Mr. Shin Sakurai affirmed the determination of Japanese Parliamentarians to work toward resource mobilization as well as dedicating support to Asian countries by fostering initiatives for population and development programs.

World Population Day ’99 generated extensive press and media coverage. Dr. Nafis Sadik, Mr. Sterling Scruggs, Director of Information and External Relations UNFPA and Ms. Imelda Henkins, Director of the Asia-Pacific Division of UNFPA were interviewed by CNN and BBC.
