Commission sessions

The members of the APFC (currently comprised of 32 countries in Asia and the Pacific) meet every two years in a general session to review forestry developments in the region, discuss problems of mutual concern, and set new agendas for inter-sessional work. Active participation of international NGOs and the private sector in all APFC activities is encouraged.
