The conference heard reports and presentations on developments in the graphical and packaging industries from throughout the region including Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand, Nepal, Indonesia, Thailand and Australia. It was evident that while newspaper production and publishing continues to decline there is massive investment in the packaging sector in particular by multinational companies.



Conference unanimously agreed an action plan which focused on improving affiliates organising capacity, establish new organising campaigns, build networks, increasing the number of global agreements and ensuring our own structures are effective.



Sister Lorraine Cassin was re-elected as President and Brothers Kyoji Takei, Soosai Raja Savarmuthu and Sister Amnuay Lemraksa were elected as Vice Presidents.
