Negotiations have begun!

The delegations of WFO and the Prime Ministry – General Directorate
of Family and Social Research of Turkey.

The President of the World Family Organization, Dr. Deisi Kusztra, had, today, in Ankara, the first preparatory meeting with the Turkish Government, represented by the General Manager of the Prime Ministry – General Directorate of Family and Social Research, Mrs. Aysen Gurcan, in order to conduct the initial arrangements of the World Family Summit +5, which will be held in Istanbul.

Although this was just an introductory meeting, a lot was already achieved. Not only many relevant points and aspects of the preparatory guidelines were clarified, but a preliminary MOU was discussed between both parties.

The definition of the dates was also on the agenda and the WFS+5 will probably be held from the 4th to 7th of December 2009.
