The Confederation of Asia-Pacific Chambers of Commerce and Industry (CACCI) has recently joined as member of the Steering Committee of the Regional Committee for Asia Pacific (RCAP) of the Conference on Non-Government organizations (CoNGO), an international organization of NGOs from around the world with Consultative Status under the United Nations, of which CACCI is a member.

RCAP elected CACCI to the Steering Committee during RCAP’s meeting on May 19, 2023 in Bangkok, Thailand. RCAP recognized CACCI’s very important work in the Asia-Pacific Region and its acknowledged status in civil society and business circles,  and of course its positive responses to RCAP initiatives.

Currently composed on nine members (with CACCI as the latest one to join), the RCAP aims to facilitate Asia-Pacific NGOs’ participation in all UN and CoNGO activities globally and regionally. It will cooperate with UN.ESCAP and other UN bodies and agencies in Asia and the Pacific. It will promote better cooperation among CoNGO members as well as other civil society organizations in Asia-Pacific.
