The Polish Parliament is hosting the NATO Parliamentary Assembly’s Spring Session from Friday 25 to Monday 28 May 2018. The Session will bring together in Warsaw some 260 parliamentarians from the 29 NATO member countries from North America and Europe as well as delegates from partner countries and observers to discuss current international security issues and the draft reports prepared by the Assembly’s Committees.
Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 May will be devoted to the meetings of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly’s five Committees: Political, Defense and Security, Science and Technology, Civil Dimension of Security and Economics and Security. Each Committee will be addressed by speakers from government, academia, NGO’s and NATO.
The Plenary Session on Monday 28 May will be addressed by Paolo Alli, President of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, high level officials from the Polish Parliament and government and by Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary General and Chairman of the North Atlantic Council.
The Sejm and Senate of the Republic of Poland will be hosting all the above-mentioned Committees and discussions as part of the commemorations of the centenary of Poland’s independence and the 550th anniversary of Polish parliamentarianism.
“NATO was founded in order to prevent the types of conflict which had engulfed the world twice in the first half of the twentieth century”, said NATO PA President, Paolo Alli. “Its members now include many nations which were deprived of their independence and freedom for much of the twentieth century.”
“The centenary of their birth—or rebirth—is therefore a special cause for celebration, and it is a great pleasure and an honor for this spring session to be a part of Poland’s commemorations.” And he added, “We are looking forward to hosting the Assembly in Warsaw for the third time since Poland’s accession to the Alliance.”
