Japanese translation:地域密着型ミーティングの開催を許可
Explanation:
There is no direct translation of "on-country meeting" so need to devise. 地域密着型 would indicate it is area-specific and would be similar in meaning. "allow for.. meeting" can be translated as 開催を許可. In my view, there is no correct translation here so need to figure out the closest in meaning.

I would not go for タウンミーティング (literally 'town meeting') since it conveys a different meaning in English.
