The 23rd Asia Regional Meeting of National Authorities of States Parties was hosted in New Delhi by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) in collaboration with India’s National Authority of the Chemical Weapons Convention (NACWC). This gathering brought together representatives from Asian member states to enhance cooperation and compliance with the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), which came into effect in 1997. OPCW, awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2013, plays a critical role in global chemical weapons disarmament. Hosting the event in New Delhi highlights India's commitment to international peace and non-proliferation efforts.
