The Summit, co-organized by the Federal National Council of the United Arab Emirates and the IPU under the theme of “United for Shaping the Future” will focus on the role that women Speakers can play in uniting parliamentarians around national and political interests to deliver sustainable prosperity and security in a rapidly changing world for present and future generations.
