The delegation is attending the “2024 Inter-Regional Seminar on the Achievement of the SDGs for Parliaments of Developing Countries,” scheduled to take place from August 19th to 28th in Beijing. This seminar will provide a platform for parliamentarians from developing nations to discuss strategies for accelerating the implementation of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through enhanced parliamentary cooperation.

The seminar, jointly organized by the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) and the National People’s Congress of China, will also commemorate the 40th anniversary of China’s accession to the IPU.
