A two-day 2024 conference of the “International Search and Rescue Advisory Group (INSARAG)” held in Islamabad, on October 29-30, 2024, was hosted by: _________?

Question

Accepted Answer

National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA). The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) is the primary body responsible for coordinating such international disaster management events. The Pakistan Environmental Protection Agency handles environmental regulations, not major SAR conferences. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs manages diplomatic relations but usually delegates technical hosting to NDMA. The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan focuses on human rights issues, which is different from search and rescue operations.
