The President of the UPA says that parliamentarians must shoulder their responsibilities
In a context of great uncertainty, African parliamentarians must assume all their responsibilities and act with determination, declared the President of the organisation, Ali Kolotou Tchaïmi, in Rabat on 21 May.
The President of the APU made these statements in his opening speech at the 83rd Session, explaining that the Union positions itself as a privileged space for parliamentary dialogue where peace, democracy, good governance and sustainable development are defended.
‘Our Union is an instrument of parliamentary diplomacy, a framework for exchanging best practices, sharing experiences and harmonising our positions as African parliamentarians on the international issues that concern us’, said the President.
President Ali Kolotou Tchaïmi also stated that the APU is a bulwark against the scourges threatening the continent, and a vector of hope for a better future, because together, united in diversity, we can meet the challenges facing us.
The Executive Committee is the body responsible for guiding the Union's activities and monitoring the implementation of the decisions, resolutions and recommendations of the Conference of Presidents, in accordance with the statutes.
The APU was founded in 1976 and has its headquarters in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.
