The Permanent Secretariat of the AACC for Planning and Coordination (AACC SPC) hosted the virtual Liaison Officers Meeting of the AACC 2024. The meeting was officially opened on Tuesday, November 19, 2024, by the Secretary General of the Constitutional Court, Heru Setiawan. He was accompanied by the Head of the Public Relations and Protocol Bureau, Pan Mohamad Faiz, and the Head of the AACC Permanent Secretariat and Foreign Cooperation, Immanuel Hutasoit.

Heru Setiawan emphasized that AACC Secretariat continues to facilitate coordination, communication, and correspondence among AACC member countries, including between their Liaison Officers. He expressed hope that this virtual meeting would provide an opportunity for each country’s representative to exchange information and especially regarding the mechanism of the financial contributions in their respective countries as mandated by the AACC President at the Board of Members Meeting (BoMM) in Bangkok-Thailand last September. Additionally, he encouraged the Liaison Officers to share their ideas for the association’s next agenda. "We are here today based on the mandate given by the AACC President and the Board of Members Meeting (BoMM). The AACC  SPC’s role is to ensure that each member institution is actively engaged in reaching mutual agreements on the administrative requirements and financial contributions for the association, so that we can present the outcomes at the next BoMM meeting. Heru stated during the meeting, which was attended by representatives from 15 of the 21 AACC member states, participating online from their respective countries.

During the meeting, all member countries shared the conditions and mechanisms of financial contributions in their respective countries. For instance, the Liaison Officer from Azerbaijan, India, Kazakhstan, South Korea, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Pakistan, and Russia, all discussed their respective positions.

In Session 2, members continued to propose ideas for relevant themes and issues to be included in the upcoming AACC International Short Course agenda. Each member had the opportunity to present current legal issues of interest in their respective countries. Session 3 focused on discussing the calendar of international activities, aiming to create an effective schedule and enhance coordination for AACC members.

At the meeting's conclusion, Pan Mohamad Faiz, Head of the Public Relations and Protocol Bureau, stressed the importance of each member country's contributions to the association's activities and the role of Liaison Officers in facilitating communication. He summarized key points, including financial contributions from members, which will be presented at the next BoMM. Inputs for the upcoming Short Course theme were noted and will be analyzed to align with AACC members' needs. The international activity calendar of each member was also compiled to improve coordination. Faiz thanked participants for their time and contributions, emphasizing the importance of ongoing collaboration. In follow-up sessions, participants proposed themes for the Short Course and discussed the activity calendar to ensure effective coordination.
