On the eve of the summer recess 2014, I have the pleasure to share with all national delegations a brief overview of the activities of the Assembly in the first six months of the year. It is a very concise exercise to keep you abreast of the work accomplished by the Assembly, the Bureau, the Standing Committees and the Secretariat. It also anticipates the PAM commitments for the second half of 2014 that will continue to see PAM involved in a series of own events and international conferences, the details of which have already been circulated in the latest copy of the updated PAM Calendar of Events.
