 Participants in the meeting discussed issues on the agenda of the IPU session and the need to adopt a unified stance by the union’s Islamic group towards issues of common interest.

In the same context, member of the People’s assembly Ashwaq Abbas took part in the Women Parliamentarians Forum which discusses women’s role in parliament in addition to enhancing women participation in political life.
