Speaker of the ECOWAS Parliament, Rt. Honorable Mohamed Tunis as part of fostering good working relations with the National Assemblies paid a courtesy visit to the Togolese National Assembly.
His visit was part of the week-long activities of the Community Parliament as it held a delocalised joint Committee meeting in Lome, the Republic of Togo last week,
He also called on the Togolese President H. E. Faure Gnassingbe at the capital of Togo Lome.
The visit afforded him the opportunity to brief President Faure of the mission of the Community Parliament in Lome on its week long activities, and the plans of the fifth Legislature under his leadership and the challenges faced so far.
He, however, requested the full support of the Togolese President in the activities of the Parliament and applauded his passion for the sub-regional integration process of ECOWAS.
Speaker Tunis emphasized that Togo is very important to the ECOWAS Parliament as it remains a key player even in the foundation of ECOWAS.
And for the Parliament it is also strategic and historical, as it hosted the first delocalised meeting in 2003 and the first Extraordinary Session in 2017.
The Speaker admonished the people of Togo to continue to observe all the COVID-19 protocols to help reduce the risks and havocs of the pandemic.
