On 22 March 2006, the AUICK Executive Committee held an annual meeting at a conference room of the Kobe City Hall.

In the opening remark, Mr. Kazutoshi Sasayama, Chairman of AUICK, reiterated AUICK's determination to move ahead toward its goals, as the year 2006 marks the third year of the new strategic project.

First, the Secretariat presented an activity and budget plan for FY2006. There was a suggestion that AUICK further impress UNFPA with the fact that it receives a considerable financial support from the Kobe City Government.

Second, the Secretariat proposed the amendment of AUICK management rules regarding a new post of Special Advisor and an opening of AUICK account. The Secretariat announced that following the retirement of Mr. Sasayama, Mr. Tatsuo Yada, Mayor of Kobe, would assume the chairmanship of AUICK on 1 April, and Mr. Sasayama would continue to work for AUICK as Special Advisor from 1 April.

Lastly, the Secretariat briefed the outline of the First 2006 Workshop and Open Forum (UNFPA Seminar) to be held in June.
