2. focusing on building complementarities and synergies, as well as bridging gaps between the Madrid Plan of Action and the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in terms of frameworks and reporting;
3. debating and agreeing upon a global roadmap or strategy on ageing for the next 5 years;
4. organizing two panel events, with the first panel comprised of Member States representing each region to highlight regional perspectives, and the second featuring a keynote speaker followed by global experts;
5. adopting session could end with the adoption of a resolution on the critical importance of ageing issues and MIPAA and with focus on a few key follow-up actions.
