H.E SABER CHOWDHURY – Introductory CVF Global Parliamentarians Meeting

Now, let us move forward. We are pleased to be joined today by a very rich host of partners: First, let me mention that we are joined today by the Secretary-General of the IPU, Martin Chungong.

Martin, we hope this first event is the start of a longer-term relationship between the IPU and the climate threatened nations cooperating under the CVF banner.
