2023/9/19
On 18 and 19 September, a workshop titled "Lessons Learned from Humanitarian Assistance Operations in Turkey and Syria" was organised by the ASEAN Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance on disaster management (AHA Centre) in Jakarta, and Ambassador Kiya attended, delivering opening remarks.
The workshop was attended by experts not only from the ASEAN region, but also from dialogue partners, namely, Australia, India, the US and Japan as well as the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) which engaged in the response operations to the Turkey-Syria earthquake that occurred in February this year. The two-day workshop provided an important opportunity to share experiences and lessons learned and to discuss measures that ASEAN needs to take in the future to respond to emergency and humanitarian assistance outside the region.
Japan will continue to support ASEAN's endeavours in the field of disaster management in cooperation with the other dialogue partners and UN Agencies that sent experts to the workshop.
