The Speaker of the Azerbaijani Parliament, Sahiba Gafarova, met with the ambassadors of African and other countries of the world in Addis Ababa as part of her official visit to Ethiopia on July 30. According to her, parliaments should become one of the main driving forces of this process. Namely parliaments that are the main institutions that translate citizens' expectations into state policy, strengthen transparency, inclusiveness, and public trust. In this regard, expanding the exchange of experience and cooperation between parliaments is of great importance for strengthening multilateralism and achieving common development goals. The meeting emphasized the importance of expanding the IPU's cooperation with regional parliamentary organizations, the integration of regional perspectives into the global parliamentary agenda, and the importance of more effective implementation of global commitments at the regional level.
