As a result, the GCM members agreed to draft a joint letter to the states, to express our concern and call for urgent support of at least 125 participants.<\/p>\n<p>GCM members now turn to the African Forum &#8212; GCM members are the only non-Africans invited to this critical regional forum &#8212; in preparation for the 2012 GFMD, and other key upcoming events such as the 2012 WSFM in Manila, and 2013 HLD in New York.<!--:--><!--:es--><\/p>\n<p><!--:--><!--:fr--><\/p>\n<p><!--:--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The GCM today concluded part 1 of its year-long strategic planning exercise.
