The work of the Standing Committee on Budget and Planning of the Asian Parliamentary Assembly (APA) began yesterday in Tehran, with the participation of MPs Mr. Mr. Nicos Tornaritis and Mr. George Loucaides, head and member, respectively, of the Cypriot delegation to the Assembly.
The session of the Committee was opened by the President of the Iranian Parliamentary Assembly Mr. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. During the first day of work, issues related to the preparation of the Assembly's budget and the restructuring of the Assembly were discussed.
In his intervention, Mr. Tornaritis said that in the aftermath of the pandemic, an in-depth discussion and an honest evaluation of the effectiveness of the work carried out in the ACA is necessary in order to draw lessons from the problems that have arisen in the functioning of the Assembly, whose approach should be changed in the direction of enhanced international cooperation. In this direction, Mr. Tornaritis noted, the House of Representatives, as the only parliament of a Member State of the European Union participating in the IGC, can play a bridging role between Europe and Asia.
Moreover, on the sidelines of the meeting, the head of the Cypriot delegation to the ACA had separate contacts with the delegations of India, Indonesia, Kuwait, China and Saudi Arabia on issues of bilateral and international interest.
