Excellency,

24 September 2015

. I have the pleasure to enclose herewith copies of the List of Speakers for each of the Interactive Dialogues that will take place during the Summit, from 25 to 27 September. These lists are accurate as of 1 :00 p.m today. Any additional changes that are required will be managed by the Secretariat during the meeting itself.

You will note that the lists are composed of speakers from Member States, Observers, the UN system, civil society, the private sector and special invitees. The lists are not, however, indicative of the speaking order. Rather, in order to enhance the interactive aspect of the Dialogues, speakers from the aforementioned stakeholder groupings will be interspersed, at the discretion of the co-Chairs.

I look forward to the continued support and cooperation of your delegation, as we launch and put into practice our new transformative Agenda, beginning with these Interactive Dialogues.

Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.
