Needs the Association’s confirmation. FAOPMA’s news page of 21 May 2026 and the ExCo Update PDF of 15 May 2026 signed by President Raju Parulkar list three new country members: Vietnam, Nepal and APJIPMI (Indonesia). This is the FAOPMA line, not a release from the Association office.
Main points
- The Resource/News item “FAOPMA Update – May 2026” (21 May 2026) notes: Pest Summit 2025 in Penang drew more than 1,300 delegates; three new country members — Vietnam, Nepal and APJIPMI (Indonesia); the Skilltech Termite Masterclass drew more than 500 people from 28 countries; Pest Summit 2026 in Auckland, 15–17 July.
- The ExCo Update PDF of 15 May 2026, signed by Raju Parulkar, under “Brief membership update from 2024 till now”, states: “3 new country members have been approved as members: Vietnam, Nepal & APJIPMI from Indonesia.”
- Needs the Association’s confirmation: the “Vietnam” line on the FAOPMA update does not spell out VPMA’s full name, and it gives no application or approval date. The Association should compare this with its FAOPMA membership file before putting it in an activity report.
VPMA’s note
This page only copies the lines on FAOPMA’s news page and update PDF. It does not infer a Vietnamese delegate list at Penang. Needs the Association’s confirmation.
