Senate President Faisal Fayez Saturday called on world politicians and parliamentarians to help find solutions to the problems and challenges facing our world, especially those related to rising poverty and hunger, and the repercussions of security conflicts which kill innocent people and trigger waves of forced migrations.
In a speech at the Parliamentary Dialogue Forum of African, Arab, Latin American and Caribbean Senates and Similar Councils in the Moroccan capital of Rabat, Fayez urged enhanced coordination between parliaments in these regions “to arrive at common denominators to engage in international efforts to face crises posed to humanity as a whole.”
He stressed the importance of cooperation between the parliaments of African, Arab, Latin America and the Caribbean nations and joint action to address the multiple challenges related to global geopolitical changes, which lately grew as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
“That made joint cooperation a pivotal and strategic matter, and a key choice to promote dialogue and solidarity to achieve sustainable development among our countries,” he said.
The Senate head stressed the importance of the forum in enhancing parliamentary diplomacy and finding new spaces for cooperation, so that it becomes a platform for the positions of member countries to be heard by the international community on various issues, especially global peace, environment, sustainable development and climate change, as well as promoting justice, law and human rights.
Over two days, the forum tackled various issues related to sustainable development and cooperation between Arab, African, Latin America and the Caribbean countries, empowerment of women and youth as an issue at the core of development and investment policies, as well as the economic situation amid the pandemic.
