Katjavivi to discuss peace in the Middle East
Speaker of the National Assembly, Peter Katjavivi, will lead a delegation of members of parliament to the 149th Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) Assembly, which will be held in Geneva, Switzerland, from October 13 to 17.
Katjavivi recently indicated his intention to retire from politics.
The Namibian delegation will take part in wide-ranging discussions, including the role of parliaments in preventing conflicts over natural resources, achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and an expert hearing on advancing a two-state solution in Palestine, a statement noted.
"On the latter, the IPU has made diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the Middle East crisis and this has laid the groundwork for parliamentary diplomacy during the upcoming assembly.”
