A word from the chair
I am thankful for the trust that the members of the EU Delegation to the Pacific-EU Parliamentary Assembly have placed in me by electing me as their Chair. I am committed to ensure that we make a good contribution to strengthening the partnership between Europe and the Pacific states.
I count on all the elected members of this Joint Assembly and on the technical and political teams that support them, so that together we can transform a genuine desire of cooperation and development into tangible results in people's quality of life and make these first moments under the Samoa Agreement successful.
