The IAI Directorate is relocating its headquarters to Panama following a decision by the Conference of the Parties. The transition involves drafting a Host Country Agreement to be approved by the National Assembly of Panama after the 5 May 2024 general elections. To ensure operational continuity, the IAI has requested that its headquarters in Uruguay remain operational, including bank accounts and diplomatic privileges, until 31 July 2025.
