"God willing by the end of May the product of the panel`s meeting will be submitted to the UN and I myself will submit it to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon at the UN Headquarters in New York on May 31, after being officially named to represent the panel for it," he said before leading a meeting with the National Economic Committee here on Thursday.
He said the 24 panel members and three co-chairs have met four times namely in New York in 2012, London in 2012, Monrovia in 2013 and in Bali recently.
They have discussed two main components that must exist for the new development agenda after 2015 to continue the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to "end poverty in our era" and assure that development still remains based on the concept of sustainable development combining economic, social and environment aspects.
In the fourth meeting in Bali they agreed to issue a joint communique to build and revive global partnership, protect the environment, global consumption and production, strengthen implementation means and data supplies and accountability to measure achievement.
President Yudhoyono co-chairs the panel along with Liberian president Ellen Johnson Sirliea and British Prime Minister David Cameron.
The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) covering eight sectors have been the commitment of world leaders declared in 2000 to be achieved before 2015.
The eight targets include reducing absolute poverty, providing basic education, empowering women, gender equality, reducing maternity deaths, overcoming contagious diseases such as HIV and malaria, assuring good environment management and international cooperation to achieve the MDGs.
