Taking place in Jakarta, the meeting will address opportunities related to the creation of the ASEAN single market in health supplements; global regulatory trends and key national, regional and global developments and learning from best practice.
“The Southeast Asian nations of ASEAN are close to completing the largest single regulatory framework in the world, impacting more than 600 million people,” said Peter Zambetti, chairman of IADSA. “This is of global significance. Reflecting and learning from this process and looking forward to its completion is key for the sector and this will be a key focus for our 2013 Annual Meeting.”
