“I will spotlight non-recognition policy, its strengthening and global security challenges in my speech at the 147th Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU),” said Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili.

“We met last year, and we were interested in her presidential plans and how she sees the role of the IPU in our turbulent world,” he said.

On her part, Tulia Ackon added that the parties “have spoken a lot of things, including bilateral relations between our countries and national parliaments,” adding that she was interested in the support of the Georgian parliamentary delegation.

“We have had a very fruitful discussion in respect of that, and the challenges that our countries go through also,” the Speaker of the National Assembly of Tanzania concluded.
