    "content": " Thank you very much. I would like to reply. This House was supposed to note the Report of the 61st Session of OACPS Parliamentary Assembly. I know that there have been many words that have been used to support the Motion. I thank all those Members that contributed to noting the Report of the 61st Session of the OACPS Parliamentary Assembly and the 42nd Session of the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly. The role of the Joint Parliamentary Assembly as set out in Article 17 is very clear. It is to promote democratic processes through dialogue and consultation, facilitate greater understanding between people of the EU and those of ACP states, raise public awareness of development issues, discuss issues pertaining to development and the ACP-EU partnership and adopt resolutions, and make recommendations to the Council of Ministers with a view to achieving the objectives of this agreement. There are very many fundamental and important aspects of the ACP-EU and the JPA. They focus on very important things. First, is the access to energy and food security. They also focus on technology transfer and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) – which many African countries have struggled to achieve – security in the Sub-Saharan region and free and independent media. Those are the important facets that form discussions around the JPA. I know that many Members focused on discussions about the LGBTQIA+. They were probably taking their cue from the Hon. Temporary Speaker because that is his pet subject. He has moved debate towards that topic but there are other fundamental issues."
