| | |  | | | | | | High quality of life and affordability in an international cosmopolitan city: Why so many international associations and organizations choose Montréal as their host city | |
By Maï Murray, Project Director for International Organizations at Montréal International (MI). Two of MI’s partners, Tourisme Montréal and Palais des congrès de Montréal, are Associate Members of the Union of International Associations.
Funded by the Government of Canada, the Government of Québec, the Montréal Metropolitan Community as well as the private sector, Montréal International (MI) is Montréal’s investment promotion agency. Non-profit and independent, MI’s mission is to contribute to Montréal’s economic development and international status by attracting international associations and organizations, strategic international workers and international investment. More than 30 international associations and organizations have received financial support from MI since it was created in 1996.
That Montréal International is the result of a private-public partnership is quite unusual. But this kind of strategy has proved very effective. Since its creation, Montréal International has helped to attract $15.5 billion in foreign direct investments to Greater Montréal. From these investments, more than 65,000 jobs have been created or maintained...

Did you know, that…?
Malaysia is increasingly becoming the destination of choice for meetings, conferences and events in Asia thanks to the ease with which business events can be staged here. Being a multilingual nation with English widely spoken has also contributed to the growth of events. With its strategic location at the heart of Asia, great value for money and world-class infrastructure, it’s easy to see why more and more conferences are being held in Malaysia.
Where to meet?
Malaysia is well endowed with all the right ingredients of infrastructure, IT, connectivity and human capital to be able to host or stage MICE of any scale or scope. Whether indoor, or outdoor, there is a plethora of suitable world-class mega venues throughout the country to meet, or exceed, expectations with the desired space and creative flexibility ...

By April Roslani, APFCP Congress President
On 14 March, you are going to kick off the 17th Congress of the Asia Pacific Federation of Coloproctology (APFCP). What are the main goals and outcomes you hope to achieve with this congress?
The membership of the APFCP is unique in that it does not comprise of individuals, but of societies representing the colorectal surgical fraternity of each member country. Currently, 12 countries are represented through 14 societies, reaching as far east as New Zealand and west as Iran. Nevertheless, ASEAN is not fully represented, in a geographic area where availability of colorectal surgical services is extremely variable. We hope that by holding this congress in the ASEAN region, we can provide inspiration and mentorship for those wishing to drive the development of state-of-the-art services in their country.
What will be the highlight of this year’s congress?
Colorectal diseases are increasingly managed in multi-disciplinary fashion, with a patient-centred approach. In addition, there are distinct differences in disease patterns and treatment approaches between the East and West. By bringing together experts in diverse fields from around the world to discuss current therapeutic challenges, we hope that participants appreciate how shared care leads to better patient outcomes ...

In January, the Federation of European & International Associations based in Belgium (FAIB) celebrated the centenary of the 1919 Belgian law granting international organizations civil personification. It remains one of the few laws in the world on non-profit associations with an international dimension and served as an example for the drafting of European Convention on the recognition of the legal personality of non-governmental organizations.
