"This session of the executive board is taking place at a very significant juncture of human development. It is a time when the phenomenon of 'globalization' has reached unprecedented levels, leading to a profound transformation within societies and between them. Advances in information and communication technology have completely revolutionized modes of functioning in societies. Developments in science and technology have not only engendered higher levels of efficiency but have also significantly altered patterns of production and wealth generation." - Dr. Salim, October 24, 2000
