On 18 April 2024, the Geneva Centre, represented by its Director Dr Umesh Palwankar, had the privilege to meet in person with Mr. Martin Chungong, Secretary General of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU).
Held at the charming House of Parliaments, the insightful dialogue revealed many intersections between the IPU’s core missions and the Geneva Centre’s main areas of work.
The Geneva Centre highly appreciates the Secretary General’s forward-looking spirit and open-door approach towards civil society, and his truly passionate commitment to democracy and human rights.
In this spirit, the Geneva Centre looks forward to embarking on a constructive and fruitful journey with the IPU towards the furtherance of human rights and democracy for all.
