The General Assembly started with a report on the activities of FY 2023, followed by a confirmation hearing among assembly members for the FY2024 agenda covering three points; 1) undertakings toward achieving our projects, 2) providing information to members, and 3) disseminating information abroad.
This was followed by a presentation from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism entitled “Information from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism” explaining the latest trends in water supply and sewerage policies and projects under its jurisdiction, and a presentation from the Japan International Cooperation Agency entitled “JICA SME and SDGs Business Support Project” introducing the content and future schedule of this project.
