Forty-eight participants representing twenty organisation from eight countries have completed a three-day workshop on Archiving and Media Management, co-organised by the ABU and Institut Penyiaran dan Penerangan Tun Abdul Razak (IPPTAR).

They came from countries across the Asia-Pacific region, including Kiribati, Vanuatu, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Brunei, Nepal and India.
