President Razan Zuayter represented West Asia at a meeting of the International Planning Committee for Food Sovereignty(IPC) , which was held in Rome between October 1-2 2013. The discussion focused on the priorities of nations to impose the concept of food sovereignty and developing a work program for the next two years. Zuayter asked the IPC to facilitate cooperation between countries of the Global South and demanded from western civil society to allow this cooperation and seize their attempts at controlling the movements of peoples and allow civil society movements in the south to formulate their own priorities and programs independently and in cooperation with each other.
