Representatives from ISSUP Afghanistan, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Philippines, Sri Lanka and Vietnam participated in this event, providing updates on ISSUP developments in their countries. Together, we brainstormed strategies for National Chapter development, discussed the ISSUP Regional DDR Plan, and explored future cooperation among countries offices.
