(3) Ifte is now arranging my talk to a group of your World Bank people from 2:00 to 4:00 pm of October 27th.

He also would like to discuss with me about the creation of Global University System in Bangladesh (GUS/Bangladesh).

(4) I noticed that you are in charge of Global Development Learning Network (GDLN) activities in South Asia Region.

It would be my great pleasure if I can meet with you while I will be at the World Bank.

This is because we are now working to establish Cambodia Open University with Supote.

Dear E-Colleagues in DC area:

(5) Should you wish to meet with me, pls feel free to contact Ifte.

Looking forward to receiving your response soon,

Best, Tak
