It was noted that the intersessional regional meeting would be organized jointly with the Secretariat as well as other interested organizations. It was stated that the intersessional regional meeting could be held in late August or early September of 2018 in Korea and in conjunction with the Trade Law Forum organized by the UNCITRAL Regional Centre for Asia and the Pacific (RCAP).

It was also mentioned that the agenda of the inter-sessional meeting would be made available to States in advance and that a summary report would be submitted to the next session of the Working Group for its consideration.
