Sixth World Conference of Speakers of Parliament
The Conference, first established in 2000 on the eve of the United Nations Millennium Summit, aims to provide a unique forum for high-level engagement and dialogue among parliamentary leaders from around the world. Previous Conferences, held every five years since then, have served as catalysts for shaping and strengthening the parliamentary dimension of global governance, thereby helping to bridge the democracy gap in international affairs. This occasion will mark the culmination of two years of work by a Preparatory Committee of approximately 20 Speakers of Parliament from all regions of the world, and promises to be the largest ever gathering of its kind. In keeping with the IPU’s inclusive approach, it will also feature prominent leaders from other international organizations, academia and civil society organizations, as well as the media.
