    Description

    Global digital cooperation is increasingly important in our interconnected world, where digital technologies have become integral to nearly every aspect of life. International collaboration among parliaments is equally important, as digitalization continues to expand across borders, impacting citizens globally. The establishment of cooperative frameworks would ensure that the benefits of digital advancements are widely shared while addressing the challenges they pose. Through enhanced collaboration, parliaments can indeed help shape a more inclusive, secure, and prosperous global digital future.
    The Parliamentary Roundtable will bring together parliamentarians from different regions of the world to share experience of collaborative initiatives to address emerging digital challenges, harmonize legislation, and facilitate global digital governance.
