Addis Ababa, April 5, 2022(Walta) – The Ethiopian delegation led by Speaker of the House of Peoples Representatives, Tagesse Chaffo, has concluded its mission in partaking in the 60th OACPS and the 41st OACPS-EU Joint Assemblies.
During the two assembly sessions, the Ethiopian delegation promoted Ethiopia’s position on the issues of shared deliberations, such as the new Post-Cotonou OACPS-EU partnership agreement, the COVID Pandemic, and its economic and social impacts, as well as the current global peace and security situation.
The delegation also familiarised participants with the current situation in Ethiopia during the sessions of the Political Committee of the OACPS, as well as through the range of bilateral meetings that House Speaker Tagesse Chaffo and Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Standing Committee Dima Noggo (Ph.D.) had, with various EU and OACPS parliamentarians.
The participation of the Ethiopian delegation had made it possible to forge common positions on mutual interests with the OACPS-EU member countries. The Ethiopian delegation also helped make genuine reflections on matters of peace and security in Ethiopia, including development and reconstruction efforts.
The 41st Session of the OACPS-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly ended yesterday, deciding to hold its next session in Mozambique.
