Enrico Perotti, Secretary of the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC), emphasizes the crucial role of contracting parties and regional plant protection organizations in shaping global plant health. He presents the regional workshops as essential annual forums for reviewing IPPC governance, strategy, standards, implementation, and capacity building, allowing regions to share experiences and priorities.

The workshops focus on International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPMs), initiatives like the IPPC ePhyto solution and the Plant Health Campus, and review programs related to shipping containers, diagnostic laboratory networks, and the Phytosanitary Program for Africa.
