The Shura Council participated on Thursday in a virtual international parliamentary symposium on disarmament, organised by the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), in cooperation with the Parliamentarians for Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament network (PNND), World Future Council (WFC) and Youth Inclusion Network (YIN).
In the symposium, the Shura Council was represented by HE Member of Council Mohammed bin Fahad Al Musallam.
The symposium addressed the importance and role of parliamentary work to ensure equal participation of both genders, sustainability in disarmament initiatives, and the role of women's leadership in this field.
This symposium comes within a series of international parliamentary events, to follow up the launch of the publication of 'Securing Our Common Future,' which is an agenda for disarmament launched by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in 2018.
