The Southwest Asia Municipal Chapter (Head: Um Kyung-ho) held a workshop for four days from February 25 to 28 at Galadari Hotel, Colombo, Sri Lanka for the purpose of strengthening the reunification capabilities of council members. A total of 90 council members working in 10 countries in Southwest Asia attended.

At the workshop, reports and analysis of the Southwestern Asia Municipal Chapter’s reunification business, which was pushed after the foundation of the 17th National Unification Advisory Council, were given, followed by a presentation on 2016’s major business plans and discussion on the methods to carry out the plans. After that, a rally was held to protest North Korea’s 4th nuclear experiment and the launch of long-range ballistic missile, adopting the manifesto that calls for boycotting North Korean restaurants in the Southeast Asia area.
