First-ever regional peer review exercise on export controls in Southeast Asia and the Pacific will be hosted by Philippines with Singapore..

Regional  peer review was hosted through  Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) under  United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1540 through  tabletop exercise in Manila last Tuesday and Wednesday.

Japan, represented by its Ministry of Foreign Affairs, served as observer to exercise.

Considered as  milestone in UNSCR 1540 implementation, Amanda Cowl, United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA) 1540 regional coordinator for Asia, pointed out that  exercise has generated interest among Indo-Pacific states, donor countries and international stakeholders, with resulting conversations in  two-day workshop having “rippling effect” in the region.

Exercise  compared UNSCR 1540 implementation between Philippines and Singapore, presented by experts from both countries’ border security and export control authorities and moderated by UNODA.
