The Permanent Forum recommends that FAO organize dialogues for indigenous peoples in such areas as the Arctic, North America, Eastern Europe, the Russian Federation, Central Asia and Transcaucasia, and the Pacific region to support indigenous peoples in preparing for the Summit.
The Permanent Forum recognizes the role of indigenous elders in advancing the rights of indigenous peoples at all levels. The Forum invites indigenous elders from all regions to establish an advisory council of elders to assist the Forum and participating delegations, as requested.
