RILON Coordination Groups

RILON Coordination Groups

Thematic, time-limited and where appropriate, regionally-focused RILON Coordination Groups can be established in response to priority regional challenges, to move forwards dialogue and cross-border working. Establishment of these networks aims to support an agile response to an emerging issue or priority topic—for example, trafficking into online scam centres.

  • RILON Coordination Group membership consists of government officials across multiple agencies who are working to address specific priority issues, as determined by Bali Process Member States.
  • Groups are time-limited, with RILON Coordination Groups led by a Member State as Chair, and day-to-day coordination supported by the RSO and a Member State secondee to the RSO offices in Bangkok, Thailand.
