Also participating were an official from the Indian Ministry of Finance representing the Commonwealth Association of Tax Administrators (COTA), two officials from the South Korean tax administration representing the Study Group on Asia-Pacific Tax Administrations and Research (SGATAR), and representatives from the OECD, the IMF, and the International Bureau of Fiscal Documentation (IBFD) and the Inter-American Center of Tax Administrations (CIAT).

During the event, the OECD presented the main aspects of Pillar II. The representatives of the attending countries and agencies commented on the actions conducted to advance towards the implementation of Pillar II and expressed their concerns.
