The APTERR Secretariat, led by Dr. Choomjet Karnjanakesorn, General Manager, visited the Mekong River Commission Secretariat (MRCS) in Lao PDR on 7 July 2022, to discuss and exchange information on food security in the region.

Mr. Theerawat Samphawamana, Director of the Planning Division of the MRC Secretariat and his team warmly welcomed the APTERR team and shared updates on their current works and activities on the water resources management for sustainable development in the Lower Mekong River Basin. Both parties had a fruitful discussion and exchanged views to explore the possibility of potential areas of collaboration between the APTERR Secretariat and the MRC in the future.

 What is APTERR?

 

The ASEAN Plus Three Emergency Rice Reserve (APTERR) is a regional cooperation established under the APTERR Agreement signed by the Ministers of the Agriculture and Forestry of the ASEAN Plus Three at the 11th Meeting of the ASEAN Minister on Agriculture and Forestry Plus Three (AMAF+3) on 7 October 2011 in Jakarta, Indonesia. The APTERR was officially established itself as a permanent mechanism and also marked the official launch of the APTERR Secretariat office in Bangkok in 2013. 

 

We are keen to strengthen food security, poverty alleviation, and malnourishment eradication among its members without distorting normal trade, while the common goal of the APTERR Parties is the assurance of food security in the ASEAN+3 region.
