Following the successful Tomorrow’s Leaders Summit held in Kuching from 18 – 20 March, 2011, which saw delegates from over 35 countries attending to listen to an impressive speaking line up which included Nobel Laureate, Professor Dr Douglas D Osheroff, First Lady, Datin Paduka Seri Rosmah Mansor and Chief Minister of Sarawak, Pehin Seri Haji Abdul Taib Mahmud together with the President of World Assembly of Youth, Datuk I.R. Idris Haron and Deputy Minister of MOSTI,  Datuk Haji Fadilah Yusuf, the Borneo Youth Declaration was submitted to 120 countries for consideration and action.
The Borneo Youth Declaration was developed after two days of deliberation and fourteen industry specific workshops.   The Organising Chairman also gracefully allowed the observers to the event to submit a supplementary request for increased training and further events. The Secretary General of the World Assembly of Youth, Ms Ediola Pashollari stated, “We were happy with the organisation of the event and we congratulate the Sarawak State Government for taking such a positive initiatve to host this event.” Mr Cyril Dason, Founder of Sarawak Bloggers, commented,  “A lot can be said about Tomorrow’s Leaders Summit and the Borneo Youth Declaration and the fact remains that it has opened our eyes up to what is possible for the future.”
“This Summit and Declaration are an important first step and we are glad we were there to be part of it. We are also pleased to hear that following the Summit several Youth organisations, especially in Sarawak, are using the Borneo Youth Declaration, as a basis for further activity. The purpose for the development of the Declaration was for it to serve as a reference point for discussion and to help formulate ideas and structures which assist with the sustainable inclusiveness of all youth in society today and to give direction on developing high income youth,” stated the Organising Chairman, Nordin Abdullah. “We are looking forward to the next Tomorrow’s Leaders Summit which is themed “Education, Sustainablity and the Future” which will be held in Putrajaya 7-9 November, 2012.”
