Terengganu State Assembly Congratulates Parliament For Organising 46th AIPA

KUALA TERENGGANU, July 7 (Bernama) -- The Terengganu State  Assembly today congratulated the Malaysian Parliament for successfully hosting the 46th ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA).

State Assembly Speaker Datuk Mohd Nor Hamzah said the 46th AIPA, organised in conjunction with the 46th ASEAN Summit chaired by Malaysia, was conducted in an orderly, dignified, and commendable manner.

 “The House records its full support for this outstanding initiative and prays that the 46th AIPA General Assembly achieves resounding success, further enhancing the stature of Malaysia’s legislative institutions at both the regional and international levels," he said in his opening speech at the second meeting of the third term of the 15th State  Assembly here today.

He said that since the beginning of this year, Malaysia has successfully organised several significant AIPA-related meetings, including the Fourth Meeting of the Coordinating Committee of Women Parliamentarians of AIPA (WAIPA) in Sarawak last April, the Second AIPA Young Parliamentarians Consultation Meeting in Selangor last May, and the AIPA Advisory Council on Dangerous Drugs (AIPACODD) Meeting in Pahang last June.

“These meetings serve as important platforms to deliberate on key issues, such as the role of women and youth, social security, drug-related challenges, and policy coordination that promotes inclusive development and a sustainable ASEAN,” he said.

He added that the upcoming 46th AIPA General Assembly, scheduled to take place from  Sept 16 to 22 in Kuala Lumpur, which will be the culmination of all preceding consultation sessions, will be a vital avenue for Malaysia to showcase the leadership of its Parliament in advancing the ASEAN Community Vision 2045.
