In an effort to enhance co-operation in various fields, particularly in the parliamentary sphere, Dr Amal Abdullah Al Qubaisi, Speaker of the Federal National Council (FNC), signed a number of Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with women speakers of the parliaments of Fiji, Gabon, Peru, as well as Andean Parliament.
The MoUs were aimed at promoting consultation in areas of mutual interest, such as security and stability, human rights protection, the fight against terrorism and extremism, and respect for international conventions. The MoUs also covered co-operation in the fields of sustainable development, innovation and exchange of knowledge and diplomatic expertise.
The MoUs will help in forging better bilateral relationships between the Federal National Council and the respective parliaments of these countries, Dr. Al Qubaisi said, underlining the importance of these agreements.
She also held discussions with the women speakers of these parliaments about the outcome of the Global Summit of Women Speakers of Parliament, held in Abu Dhabi recently under the theme “United for shaping the future.”
Dr. Al Qubaisi referred to the “Abu Dhabi Declaration” that called for the need to unify efforts to face current challenges and in the future. This will help enhance the quality of life and facilitate projects aimed at ensuring sustainable
development. The Abu Dhabi Declaration also emphasised the importance of youth in finding solutions for many issues.
