    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, just for the sake of Hon. Members who have no idea - because I do appreciate that this House is relatively new in terms of percentage of Members - the IPU and the World Organisation of Parliaments is a global forum for parliamentary dialogue, co- operation and action. The Union advances democracy and assists parliaments and parliamentarians throughout the world to fulfil their mandates. At the time of this Assembly, there were 178-member Parliaments of the IPU. The IPU facilitates parliamentary debate, dialogue and co-operation, promotes and defends democracy and the rule of law while assisting parliaments in coping with growing international agenda relevant to their duties. The IPU Assembly is a principal statutory body that expresses the views of inter-parliamentary union on political issues. It brings together parliaments to study international problems and make recommendations for parliamentary and government action. The Assembly meets twice a year and is held each time in a different country, providing participants with an opportunity to see various national realities."
