"During the past 50 years, through the various activities organized by the FABC, such as seminars, workshops, colloquia, …. etc. the dream of the Asian bishops to be in greater solidarity has borne immense fruit. Normally, once in every four years, the FABC holds its Plenary Assemblies. By its statutes, a Plenary Assembly is considered as the body with the highest authority within the FABC structure. Up to date, there had been eleven such Assemblies, the last one being held in Colombo, Sri Lanka, in 2016. Only the bishop delegates from the Conferences have a vote in such Assemblies, and every such Assembly has issued a Final Statement, voted by the participating bishops. As such, these Plenary Assembly Statements can be considered as formal statements that have the authority of the FABC." (Introduction, page v)
