Dear WHO EURO Member States,
I am reaching out in my capacity as the co-chair of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body
(INB) to draft and negotiate a WHO convention, agreement or other international
instrument on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response (the WHO CA+).
We are approaching the sixth meeting of the INB (INB6), which is set to take place in Geneva
between July 17 and 21, where the drafting group will be invited to continue its work on the
consideration of the Bureau’s text, continuing with the remaining articles of Chapter II and
thereafter Chapters III and I, as time permits.
Therefore, I hope you will join me for a WHO EURO Member State briefing on Wednesday
12th of July from 11:00 until 12:00 CEST. This provides an opportunity to brief you on the
process, what to expect for the upcoming INB6 meeting, and provides you with a regional
platform to share and voice any questions and bring forward suggestions on the process,
both regarding the official INB meetings, as well as the informal sessions.
The meeting will be held virtually and interpretation will be provided in Russian.
Please find the link to join the Zoom meeting below. Kindly note that registration prior to the
meeting is required.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for solidarity, and both global and
regional cooperation in the field of health. The process towards a WHO convention,
agreement or other international instrument on pandemic prevention, preparedness and
response offers precisely this possibility.
With kind regards,
the INB co-chair
Roland Driece
