The participants also discussed the aims and objectives of this international forum. Aligs from the USA, India, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, UAE and many more countries participated in the meeting.

Many useful inputs and suggestions were proposed which were noted to prepare a long-term master plan which will again be discussed in the next session, said Syed M Shoeb, honorary secretary of the association.
