[Villaney Remengesau]

Dear OPDs from Asia and the Pacific:

Sharing with you this opportunity for our engagement in the upcoming Phase
2 Regional Consultations on ADB Safeguard Policy Review. Please do let us
know should you wish to participate and speak in these consultations so we
can better coordinate and prepare with reference materials and some talking
points/recommendations. Strongly recommend persons with disabilities from
each of the subregions register and kindly contact us if you need further
assistance with the registration process. Please find the email below for
more details.

Thank you and looking forward to your support and participation.

Kind regards,

Lany
