I started to refer to the counter-terrorism expert working group as part of ADMM-Plus, which we co-chair with Singapore. That is a very valuable opportunity for us to engage and to exercise in the region. There will be a significant undertaking in that regard in May next year across all the ADMM-Plus working groups, including the Counter-Terrorism Working Group.

On the weekend I met with my colleagues from Japan and have more information in relation to their engagement with ADMM-Plus. What this gives us is a really practical engagement and a very useful, local, regional approach to these issues, which otherwise would not be readily available.
