22 March 2024 -

On 22 March, Graduation Ceremony of the AHA Centre Executive Leadership in Emergency and Disaster Management for ASEAN Programme (ACE LEDMP) Middle Level Course was held and Ambassador Kiya, together with H.E. Nararya S. Soeprapto, Deputy Secretary-General of ASEAN for Community and Corporate Affairs and Mr. Lee Yam Ming, Executive Director of the AHA Centre, attended the ceremony and delivered his remarks. 20 participants from the National Disaster Management Organizations (NDMOs) of ASEAN member states took part in this course.

In addition to the meeting with officials of ministries and government-related agencies in charge of disaster management, the study visit to Japan included a visit to Kobe City, where participants exchanged views with disaster management officials from various organizations.

This training course will hopefully contribute to enhancing the knowledge and experience of the participants and that they will lead NDMOs in their respective countries in the future and promote the One ASEAN One Response initiative.

The ACE LEDMP Middle Level is supported by the Government of Japan through the Japan-ASEAN Integration Fund (JAIF).
