Euro-Latin-American Network of Parliamentarians launch in The Hague
NIMD is pleased to cooperate with the European office of the Inter-American Development Bank to launch the Euro-Latin-American Network of Parliamentarians.
The network will be launched during Encuentro Latino Europeo (ELE) to be held at the Social and Economic Council in The Hague on 27th May.
The purpose of the network is to increase the effectiveness of development cooperation by strenghtening the involvement of national parliaments in its design and implementation. The network, which aims to bring 20 European national parliament members and 20 parliamentarians from Latin American together, will facilitate an exchange of best practices and allow legislators from both regions to discuss the most current and urgent issues concerning democratization and development.
The first session of this network will take place in the Dutch Senate.
Encuentro Latino Europeo (ELE) is a platform for policy analysis and dialogue between Latin Americans and Europeans. It is based on the conviction that there is a world to win for both Latin America and Europe in strongly intensifying their relationships; both as partners, complementing each other, and as allies, together taking responsibility for promoting a workable and sustainable world order.
To register for the conference and/or for the launch of the parliamentarians network event send an email to ELE@socires.nl
