During the 10th Global Conference of Young Parliamentarians of the Inter-Parliamentary Union the Secretary General of the Inter-Parliamentary Union Martin Chungong, in his opening remarks welcoming the attendees, noted that their three-year dream has come true.
“As of today Armenia is the youngest parliament and wanted to host one of the Conferences of Young Parliamentarians. Today, we are here to realize our dream in a country that symbolizes the empowerment of youth as articulated in its governing institutions. I am not no longer a young person, I am no longer qualified a young member of parliament, but I am still young in in my heart. I am a true believer in youth empowerment, and this has driven my mandate in the IPU.”
Martin Chungong informed that the theme of the Conference is the education and employment.
Dan Carden, Member of Parliament of the United Kingdom, President of the Board of the Forum of Young Parliamentarians of the Inter-Parliamentary Union also welcomed via video message the participants of the 10th Global Conference of Young Parliamentarians of the Inter-Parliamentary Union.
