Rajinder Chaudhry, additional director general of PIB Chandigarh, further added, "The AMIS Rapid Response Forum, which will be held on the first day of the meeting, is an important initiative to address the food market situation and identify capacity building needs. We hope that this forum will provide a vision for the future progress of the initiative."

During the meeting's second and third days, member countries will focus on drafting the communique, which will discuss four thematic areas: food security and nutrition, sustainable agriculture with a climate-smart approach, inclusive agricultural value chains and food systems, and digitisation for agricultural transformation.

Aside from the discussions, attendees will be able to explore Chandigarh's rich cultural legacy with a visit to the Rock Garden Food Festival, an excursion to Sukhna Lake, followed by a gala dinner, and a visit to Yadavindra Gardens at Pinjore.

The event promises to bring countries together to strive towards a more sustainable future for agricultural and food security.
