Unpacking my luggage…
Dear Erkan Saka,
We would like to invite you to join us as a member of the press for the World Bank/International Monetary Fund 2009 Annual Meetings, to be held in early October in Istanbul.
Each year, the Boards of Governors of the World Bank Group and International Monetary Fund meet to discuss a range of issues related to poverty reduction, international economic development, and finance.
We are hoping that you will be able to attend the meetings as a member of the press.
In the World Bank Group’s efforts to connect with web publications as well as traditional media, we are inviting a select few bloggers to cover the Annual Meetings.
