In the context of the graduation process o f Myanmar\, the Division has had a long-standing\, strong and productive r elationship collaborating with the Government in preparing the General Ass embly-mandated Vulnerability Profile for Myanmar and looks forward to acco mpany the country throughout its graduation process.\n\nUNCTAD would like to host an online (WebEx) short technical working meeting with a few offic ials in the Government of Myanmar on the revised Vulnerability Profile. Th is will create an opportunity for UNCTAD to discuss with representatives o f Myanmar some of the emerging findings from the Vulnerability Profile bef ore it is submitted to the Committee for Development Policy (CDP) for wide r circulation.\n\nThis will be a small working (technical) meeting between a few UNCTAD staff that have been working on the Vulnerability Profile an d some officials in the Government of Myanmar on 20 November 2020.\n\nThe vulnerability profile casts light on the extent to which pre-qualification from graduation is synonymous with genuine progress on structural economi c transformation\, a necessary condition for fairness in the decision to r eclassify a country.
