LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
---------

For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Morgan Stanley Dean Witter
Emerging Markets Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") had a total return, based on net asset
value per share, of 8.18% compared with 2.42% for the Morgan Stanley Capital
International (MSCI) Emerging Markets Free Index (the "MSCI Index") and 3.04%
for the IFC Global Total Return Composite Index. For the period from
commencement of operations on November 1, 1991 through March 31, 2000, the
Fund's total return, based on net asset value per share, was 272.06% compared
with 123.70% for the MSCI Index and 88.25% for the IFC Global Total Return
Composite Index. On March 31, 2000, the closing price of the Fund's shares on
the New York Stock Exchange was $17 3/8, representing a 24.4% discount to the
Fund's net asset value per share.

Outperformance compared to the MSCI Index was attributable to both strong stock
selection and country allocation. Stock selection in Brazil and Taiwan
contributed markedly to performance. Other notable contributors were equity
selections in Greece, Israel and Turkey. Our overweight stance in capital
equipment stocks, including Samsung Electronics and Hon Hai Precision, added to
performance. Telecommunications services holdings, including China Telecom, CRT
Cellular, Amdocs and Orckit Communications, also enhanced the Fund's return. Our
overweight position in Israel (+15.7%), Malaysia (+22.3%) and Taiwan (+15.7%)
coupled with our underweight stance in Greece (-14.0%), the Philippines (-24.0%)
and South Africa (-10.0%) contributed positively to performance. Poor stock
selection in India, Russia and South Africa and country allocation in South
Korea (-2.4%) detracted from performance.

First quarter gains by the emerging markets reflected varying performances
within the regions, with notably strong advances made by some Asian markets
(India, Malaysia and Taiwan) and within the Emerging Europe and the Middle East
(Czech Republic, Israel, Poland and Russia). Amidst a backdrop of interest rate
hikes and increased volatility in the U.S., the emerging markets continue to
recover economically and show signs of increasing political stability. Aggregate
GDP growth in the emerging markets is estimated to have reached 5.4% during the
first quarter of 2000, versus a 3.8% growth rate for 1999. Strong demand in the
developed world, leading to higher export volumes for the emerging markets,
should continue to boost growth. Asia is particularly benefiting from these
export trends, and remains the growth leader with estimates of 7.2% thus far
this year. Meanwhile, elections in Chile, Taiwan and Russia yielded
market-friendly results. Consolidations in the telecommunications and banking
arenas boosted sentiment towards the Latin American markets. Emerging Europe
benefited from progress on privatization and the economic recovery in Western
Europe, and Asian markets were reinforced by robust exports, current accounts
and outsourcing.

Signs of macroeconomic improvements and steps towards increasing fiscal
responsibility lifted Latin American markets by 3.9% for the quarter. Latin
American telecoms were boosted early in the first quarter when Telefonica de
Espana (TISA) announced intentions to buyout minority shareholders of their
Latin American telecommunications affiliates at a premium. Brazilian equities
advanced 3.7%, buoyed by a better-than-anticipated primary surplus for January,
a deceleration in the rate of inflation, and continuing foreign direct
investment. During the first quarter, we added to Brazilian telecommunications
services providers Embratel and Telesp and we trimmed our holdings in Brazilian
mining and natural resource conglomerate CVRD, based on less compelling
valuations in comparison with global peers.

Mexican equities advanced 4.5%, as sentiment was buoyed by better than
anticipated inflation and GDP figures and improved 1999 fiscal deficit results
combined with Moody's March upgrade of Mexico to investment grade status. During
the first quarter, we added to Mexico's leading industrial corporation Alfa,
based on the upside potential from improving margins in their chemical business
and undervalued participation in their telecom assets. We also added to Wal-Mart
de Mexico (formerly Cifra), Mexico's largest retail chain of food and general
merchandise, based on expectations for consumer recovery and a strong balance
sheet. Although we believe the economic recovery currently underway should
continue through 2000, supported by improving fiscal discipline, a narrowing of
risk premia and sustainable high commodity prices, we find investment
opportunities in other areas of the world more enticing and remain underweight
Latin America. We are likely to add marginally to Brazil and Mexico, notably
those positions which we feel are most leveraged to consumer recovery (retail)
or improving operating efficiencies and higher growth and return segments (media
and telecoms).

Asian markets advanced 4.4%, as strong current accounts, export growth and
positive secular trends in semiconductors and global outsourcing continue to
bolster the non-Japan Asian markets. Our emphasis on this region is backed by
current account surpluses and higher savings finally translating into increased
consumption. In addition, continued corporate restructuring in Japan enhances
the trend in outsourcing to emerging Asian countries of components and
sub-assemblies businesses. South Korean equities declined 2.4% during the first
quarter, due to initial market consolidation after strong performance last year
and investor concern over U.S. interest rate hikes. South Korean equities
rebounded towards the end of the quarter, supported by Moody's upgrade to a
positive outlook for banks, record high customer deposit levels, and strong DRAM
prices. We added some new names to our overweight stance in South Korea, such as
39 Shopping, South Korea's largest home shopping network.

Equities advanced 15.7% in Taiwan, where voters elected Democratic Progressive
Party candidate Chen Shui-bian as their new president on March 19, ending more
than half a century of Nationalist (KMT) rule. Chen's victory should be positive
for the market over the longer term, and recent conciliatory remarks directed at
China have helped to reduce political uncertainty in the near term. We maintain
our overweight stance in Taiwan and during the first quarter we added companies
which we believe represent exciting opportunities leveraged to trends in
technology and outsourcing. Purchases included Advantech (computer peripherals)
and Macronix


                                       2
<PAGE>

(designer/manufacturer of integrated microcircuits and memory chips).

During the first quarter, Chinese equities declined 20.1%. However, the MSCI
China Free Index presently does not include companies listed in Hong Kong and
not incorporated in China, but whose major shareholders (directly or indirectly)
are organizations or enterprises owned by the state, provinces or municipalities
of the People's Republic of China. Many of these companies advanced during the
first quarter, supported by improving export growth, increasing foreign direct
investment and supportive macroeconomic policies. MSCI recently announced
revisions in the construction of the MSCI China Free Index to better represent
the investment opportunities available to foreign investors, such as using share
ownership in determining the country classification of a company. Consequently,
China's weight in the MSCI Emerging Markets Free Index should increase
considerably. We added to our significant overweight in China during the first
quarter, and purchases included China Merchants, which owns and operates
container terminals and toll roads in China and TCL International, a home
electronics manufacturer.

Indian equities gained 17.6% during the first quarter, on the back of strong
demand for telecommunications and technology-related stocks and on expectations
for a reform oriented 2000 Budget. However, equities were volatile after the
budget was announced on February 29, as investors viewed the budget as somewhat
disappointing. The government failed to address India's fiscal problems and was
not seen as aggressive enough on the pace of reforms or privatization program.
During the first quarter, we reduced our holdings in auto manufacturer TELCO,
based on disappointing earnings and a lackluster outlook for the near-term.

We are underweight Emerging Europe, the Middle East and Africa regions. Emerging
Europe and the Middle East advanced 3.1% during the first quarter, although
posting mixed returns. We maintain our underweight stance in Greek equities,
which declined 14.0% as the market has already discounted most of the good news
surrounding European Monetary Union convergence. During the first quarter, we
reduced our underweight in the Greek telecommunications sector by adding to OTE
and Panafon, based on attractive valuations and recent underperformance. Israeli
equities advanced 15.7%, buoyed by a positive macroeconomic environment coupled
with stories of companies with strong management and great earnings growth
potential. We continued to add to our overweight stance in Israel, notably
through companies in the communications and software related industries.
Purchases included software and solutions services providers including
Technomatix and TTI Industries.

Russian equities advanced 22.9%, bolstered by Vladamir Putin's election as
President, which should lend stability and additional support to the economic
upturn underway. We believe Russia's economic recovery, which has benefited from
oil price strength, debt restructuring and forgiveness, current account
surpluses and improving international reserves, should continue. We added to
electric utilities (Unified Energy Systems) and oil and gas stocks (Lukoil and
Surgutneftegaz). Despite continued indications that inflation and interest rates
should trend down, Turkish equities fell 6.3% during the first quarter, due to
the market currently reflecting most of the positive news for the near-term and
heightened political tensions toward quarter-end surrounding the vote not to let
President Demirel run for re-election. We reduced our overweight in Turkey and
took the opportunity to lock in some gains by trimming positions in the banking
and energy sectors. The Czech Republic (+29.9%), Hungary (+13.2%) and Poland
(+19.0%) gained on the back of signs of economic recovery, movement towards
privatization and rallies in technology-related stocks.

South African equities declined 10.0% during the first quarter, reflecting
investor skittishness over a less friendly interest rate environment, lagging
commodity stocks, and lack of near- term market catalysts. South Africa
continues to be one of our largest underweights. We find the market attractively
valued yet believe the equity prospects are less enticing than in other emerging
markets. During the first quarter, we trimmed positions in financial companies
Bidvest and BOE, as we do not anticipate additional interest rate cuts in the
near-term. We sold banking and insurance company ABSA, based on our
disappointment with management and our view the company will continue to lose
market share and underperform its sector.

We continue to like the long term prospects within the emerging markets. We
believe the economic recovery underway in Latin America should be supported by
improving fiscal discipline, a narrowing of risk premia and sustainable high
commodity prices. Within Asia, we anticipate markets should benefit from strong
current accounts, continued export growth, earnings upgrades and outsourcing.
Given progress on privatization and fiscal and current account restraint, we
anticipate continued economic turnaround in Emerging Europe, bolstered by the
economic recovery in Western Europe and progress towards European Union
convergence.

Sincerely,
