The National Organizing Council
The National Organizing Council will be responsible for coordinating various aspects of the ASEAN Summit, including logistics, security, cultural programs, and media management.
Logistics and Infrastructure Development
One of the key challenges the council will face is the coordination of logistics and infrastructure development. The hosting of a summit of this magnitude requires meticulous planning and execution of projects such as venue preparation, transportation arrangements, and accommodation for delegates.
Security
In terms of security, the council will need to work closely with law enforcement agencies to ensure the safety and well-being of all participants. This will involve implementing stringent security measures, conducting risk assessments, and coordinating emergency response protocols. The council will leave no stone unturned in ensuring a secure environment for all ASEAN member states and their delegates.
Cultural Program
The cultural program is another crucial aspect that the council will focus on. The Philippines has a rich and diverse culture that should be showcased during the summit. The council will organize cultural events, exhibitions, and performances that highlight the country’s heritage and traditions. This will provide delegates with a deeper understanding of the Philippines and foster cultural exchange among ASEAN member states.
Communication and Media Management
Effective communication and media management will also be essential for the success of the summit. The council will work closely with the Presidential Communications Office to ensure that accurate and timely information is disseminated to the public and the international community. This will help create a positive image of the Philippines as a capable and welcoming host.
