Mr. McMullin AM congratulated YEGAP on its recent activities, particularly its strong participation in the 36^th CACCI Conference held in Melbourne, Australia in November 2022. He said that during his Presidency, he would rely on YEGAP for CACCI activities that he hopes would ensure the long-term future of the Confederation. He indicated his intention to engage the young entrepreneurs in CACCI’s efforts to deal with issues and challenges faced by the business community and expressed his hopes that YEGAP members would take the leadership role in this regard.

Both Mr. Mangesh and Mr. Gerodias updated the CACCI President on the activities undertaken by YEGAP in the past year to restructure and revive the group in order to make it an effective venue for identifying suitable programs geared towards entrepreneurial development for young and start-up entrepreneurs. They also explained how they plan to widen the scope of YEGAP membership by also inviting young business leaders from countries other regions outside Asia-Pacific to become members, as well to participate more actively with the activities of other regional and international organizations such as the ICC WCF, the B20, and the ASEAN-BAC, among others.
