Fourth BABA Retreat: Future Leaders’ Dialogue
October 26-November 2, 2008, Peking University, Beijing, China

COMMUNIQUE

We, the participants of the Fourth ‘Building a Better Asia: Future Leaders’ Dialogue’ held in October 26 – November 2, 2008, acknowledge the accomplished efforts of the previous BABA fellows and in furtherance thereof recognize that:

Whereas the last three BABA Communiques successfully incorporated all the relevant issue areas that define the vision of Building a Better Asia;

Respecting the diversity of all participants of Future Leaders’ Dialogue and working in solidarity with each other in achieving our shared vision of a better Asia;

Recognizing the philosophical foundation of the BABA vision that has been laid down in the existing Communiques;

Adhering to the vision and the mission of the previous communiqués;

We, therefore, realize that concrete action has to be initiated premised on the BABA goals. To this end, we commit ourselves to initiate a volunteering project called BABA Volunteer Community.

This Communique is adopted and signed by the Fourth ‘Building a Better Asia: Future Leaders’ Dialogue’ on November 2, 2008.
