RI TO HOST APA EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETING
Jakarta, Aug. 8 (ANTARA) - The House of Representatives (DPR) will host an Asian Parliamentary Assembly (APA) executive board meeting here from August 11 to 12, 2009.
The meeting would discuss draft resolutions which had been deliberated on in several sub-commissions in a number of APA member countries, Abdillah Toha, chairman of the Inter-Parliamentary Cooperation Body (BKSAP), said here on Monday.
Issues to be discussed would include an integration of Asia's energy market, corruption and poverty eradication in Asia, environmental issues, globalization, health, culture, and efforts to strengthen cooperation among APA members, he said.
Indonesia is currently president of 39-member APA, until 2010.
"The APA session will also push a commitment of the APA member countries to the implementation of Friendship Pact in Asia aimed at strengthening the Asian power to balance the Western domination in the international arena," Toha said.
The draft resolutions would be recommended to be adopted in APA General Assembly scheduled to be held in Bandung, West Java, in November or December 2009.
APA was initially known as the Association of Asian Parliamentary for Peace (AAPP) which was established in 1999. In 2006, AAPP was transformed into APA with broader scopes of cooperation among Asian parliaments.***
