With Indonesia currently serving as IPC Chair for 2026, the meeting focused on the ongoing transformation of the global pepper sector and the Secretariat's modernization agenda. The exchange also explored constructive pathways toward Thailand's return to full IPC membership, alongside the Embassy's role in facilitating agricultural and trade cooperation.
