ABU DHABI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM - 10th May, 2021) Saqr Ghobash, Speaker of the Federal National Council (FNC), today received Martin Chungong, Secretary-General of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), at the headquarters of the FNC.
During the meeting, Ghobash highlighted the profound bilateral ties and strategic partnership between the two sides, as well as the FNC’s recognition of the IPU’s key role in achieving development and prosperity for the people of the world.
