In response to unprecedented border management challenges arising due to the Covid−19 pandemic, the Ad Hoc Policy Experts Gathering convened to discuss shared irregular migration concerns.
Given restrictions on face-to-face meetings, participants came together in a virtual format held on WebEx. This meeting represented the first Bali Process meeting during the Covid−19 pandemic, with the major themes of discussion charting a course forward for Bali Process activities and identifying new and evolving needs of members.
The meeting was chaired at Counsellor-level by Australia and Indonesia.
