The First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Bernard Ahiafor, has inaugurated the Parliamentary Friendship Association of the Ninth Parliament on behalf of Speaker Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin. The association aims to connect Ghanaian parliamentarians with their peers across borders, facilitating the sharing of ideas on global issues such as climate change.
According to Mr. Ahiafor, the Parliamentary Friendship Association signals a deepening commitment to parliamentary democracy and international relations. He encouraged Members of Parliament to view membership of the association as a call to action and a strategic avenue for deepening Ghana’s relationship with its international partners.
The Clerk to Parliament, Mr. Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, and Majority Leader, Mahama Ayariga, also highlighted the significance of the Friendship Association in fostering democracy, global peace, and stability. The inauguration of the association marks an important step in Ghana’s parliamentary diplomacy efforts.
The association is expected to provide a platform for Ghanaian parliamentarians to engage with their international counterparts, share best practices, and address global challenges. The move is seen as a positive step in promoting Ghana’s interests and strengthening its relationships with other countries.
