The Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) General Assembly, held in Luanda, Angola, has expressed concern over the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.
The IPU, at the conclusion of its 147th meeting, condemned all acts of violence against innocent civilians and wants to see a peaceful resolution to the situation.
The Speaker of the National Assembly, Prof. Peter Katjavivi, addressed hundreds of Members of Parliament gathered at the 147th Inter-Parliamentary Union in Luanda, Angola.
He stated that despite Namibia inheriting inequality from the policies of the apartheid regime, the country has adopted numerous initiatives to rectify this issue.
During a general debate under the theme "Parliamentary Action for Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions," Professor Katjavivi highlighted that Namibia has passed multiple legislations promoting peace, justice, and strong institutions.
African leaders, including Vice President Nangolo Mbumba, who attended the Quadripartite Summit, have decided to institutionalise the platform to continue to harmonise consultations on peace efforts in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
However, funding commitments still remain a challenge.
