MALAYSIA:
Dr. Lim Keng Yaik, Minister of Primary Industries,
described the initiative taken by Canada and Malaysia to organize
the intergovernmental working group on global forests (IWGGF). The
IWGGF is not a negotiating process but an attempt to bring together
countries and organizations to discuss the post-Rio agenda for
forests. He called for the establishment of an appropriate
institutional mechanism within the UN system to implement the UNCED
Forest Principles.
