“The world has witnessed severe geo-political changes, characterised by increased violence and wars, especially in the Middle East and part of Europe. As Parliaments, we cannot afford to sit and act as bystanders,” Among said. 

She also rallied the Speakers and Presiding Officers to advocate for respect for other states’ values, cultures and traditions, saying differences in perspectives should happen within the bounds of friendship. 

Among pledged Parliament of Uganda’s commitment to support cooperation among Commonwealth legislatures. 

“As the Parliament of Uganda, we shall strengthen Parliamentary diplomacy through the various Inter Parliamentary bodies at our disposal, including the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association. We shall advocate for unity, diversity, greater respect for people and greater co-existence, “she said.

Speaking to diverse and inclusive Parliaments, Among who referred to Sustainable Development Goal, three, said there ought to be deliberate steps to promote youth engagement in Parliamentary for continuity.

She cited, among other strategies, Uganda Parliament’s efforts through the annual Youth Parliament where youth leaders across the country participate in a moot plenary session.

During a plenary session at the conference where India was also endorsed to host the 28th CSPOC  in 2026, Parliaments were asked to be involved in addressing climate change through legislation.

The Deputy Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of the Indian Parliament, Harivansh Narayan Singh, said the forum will provide an opportunity for delegates to impact the lives of citizens in the Commonwealth positively.
