The Head of State His Excellency Paul BIYA has
called on the Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference to make their deliberations
pertinent to the expressed theme of their sitting, and to participate
efficiently in the implementation of development goals in the post 2015 period.
President Paul BIYA made the call in his opening speech of the 60th
Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference holding in Yaounde, under the theme:
“Repositioning the Commonwealth for the post 2015 development agenda”.
President Paul BIYA heartily welcomed all the
delegates to Yaounde and saluted their decision to put their deliberations on
the subject of development objectives. The President of the Republic said that
commendable efforts had been made in some areas, such as education,
vaccination, the fight against HIV/AIDS, etc. Difficulties were encountered in
other areas, such as the reduction of poverty, which has not been very
effective. The Head of State called on all the legislators to fight for
meaningful development in their respective countries and to strive for a new
world order with greater social justice and solidarity.
The ceremony ended with a group photograph with
the Head of State and all the delegates attending the conference.
