All set for CPA confab next year

The Parliament of Sri Lanka has already laid the ground work for the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) Conference at the BMICH next year from September 7-15, Speaker Chamal Rajapaksa told the Sunday Observer.

An organising committee under the chairmanship of Deputy Speaker Chandima Weerakkody and an Advisory Panel comprising Party Leaders under his chairmanship have been appointed, he said.

The CPA celebrated its centenary in London recently. At the centennial conference, Speaker Chamal Rajapaksa was elected President of the CPA by the General Assembly. Sri Lanka was chosen as the next venue for the CPA conference.

The Speaker said that his election as the CPA President and its decision to choose Sri Lanka as the next forum for the conference is an honour bestowed on the country by the Commonwealth fraternity.

Around 1,000 delegates comprising Speakers, Parliamentarians, officials and observers will attend the CPA conference in Sri Lanka.

He said the high-level Parliamentary delegations at the recent CPA conference were very keen to visit Sri Lanka to ascertain the development activities in the country.

The Speaker said that the mission of the CPA is to promote the advancement of Parliamentary democracy by enhancing knowledge and understanding of democratic governance and also by building an informed Parliamentary community to deepen the Commonwealth’s democratic commitment and to further cooperation among its Parliaments and legislatures. It achieves its mission through activities such as conferences, training events, publications, providing information and Parliamentary visits.
