FAO regional conferences are held once every two years and are generally attended by ministers of agriculture or their deputies and senior government officials from relevant line ministries and technical departments.
This high-level consultation comprises all member countries in the region. The meeting focuses on special problems in the region and priority areas which should be taken into account in preparing the FAO Programme of Work and Budget for the next biennium as well as in relation to longer-term objectives.
In addition to regional member country delegations, observers from other FAO member countries and development partners – including civil society – attend the plenary sessions as well as side events.
Up to the present, 28 sessions of the FAO Regional Conference for Asia and the Pacific (APRC) have been held. The 29th session will be held in Bangkok from 26 to 31 March 2009.
The 28th session of the Regional Conference for Asia and the Pacific (28th APRC) was held in Indonesia in 2006. Two years earlier, the 27th session was hosted by China (27th APRC). |
