The Speaker of Ghana’s Parliament, the Rt. Hon. Alban Bagbin, has urged the world to strengthen international cooperation at the international conference on parliamentary diplomacy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaker made the call\u00a0 at the 148th Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), in Geneva, Switzerland.<\/p>\n

Leading the Ghanaian delegation, Speaker Bagbin emphasized the importance of dialogue and collaboration in addressing pressing global challenges. “The 21st century presents a multitude of complex issues threatening global peace and security,” stated Bagbin, pointing to ongoing conflicts, rising extremism, and economic disparities as some of the most concerning issues.<\/p>\n

He highlighted parliamentary diplomacy as a beacon of hope, offering a pathway towards building bridges for peace and understanding. The Speaker reiterated the need for a comprehensive and collaborative approach that engages all stakeholders, including parliamentarians, to promote peaceful conflict resolution. “No country can singlehandedly address global issues,” Bagbin stressed, calling for multilateralism and multi-stakeholder partnerships, highlighting the crucial role parliaments play in shaping international relations and promoting stability.<\/p>\n

The conference theme, “Parliamentary Diplomacy: Building Bridges for Peace and Understanding,” resonated throughout the speech. Bagbin underscored the importance of open communication and dialogue in bridging divides and fostering collaboration.<\/p>\n

The emergence of new forms of diplomacy, with parliamentary diplomacy being a prime example, reflects the changing landscape of international relations. The Rt. Hon. Speaker acknowledged the need for a balance between upholding universal values and respecting cultural diversity.<\/p>\n
