On 25 March 2021, Mr. Chanpithya Shimphalee, General Manager of the APTERR Secretariat, received a farewell courtesy call from Mr. Nao Muramatsu, the outgoing First Secretary for Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of the Embassy of Japan in Bangkok and, at the same time, welcomed   Ms. Hiroko Matsuo, who is the successor of Mr. Muramatsu.

 

Besides, the APTERR Secretariat and the representatives from the Embassy of Japan in Bangkok had an opportunity to discuss about the APTERR cooperation as well as exchange some experiences in the field of agriculture, especially rice. Japan has played an active role in the APTERR activities and has been one of the most generous contributors to the APTERR since its establishment.

 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.
