Members of the International Alliance of Dietary/Food Supplements Associations (IADSA) will come together in Indonesia next week (25 April) to discuss regulatory developments across the globe at the organisation's Annual General Meeting.

"The Southeast Asian nations of ASEAN are close to completing the largest single regulatory framework in the world, impacting more than 600 million people," said Peter Zambetti, chairman of IADSA. "This is of global significance. Reflecting and learning from this process and looking forward to its completion is key for the sector and this will be a key focus for our 2013 Annual Meeting."
