A parliamentary delegation, chaired by Ghazi Al-Baddawi, Lower House Assistant Speaker, participated in the 103rd edition of the Rose-Roth international seminar, organized by the NATO Parliamentary Assembly (NATO PA) in Finland’s Helsinki.
The four-day seminar, which included several sessions, touched on three topics: the Russian-Ukrainian war, climate change, cybersecurity and its impact on the world.
Parliamentarians from NATO member states, as well as parliamentarians as members of observer countries, including Jordan, participated in the seminar, while Finland is a non-member of this alliance.
At the opening session, attended by Finnish President Sauli Niinist?, the Speaker of the Finnish Parliament, and the Speaker of the NATO PA, extensive discussions were held on threats of the ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war on world peace.
The participants in the session stressed the importance of containing this war, which affects the civilized world, as well as the possibility of using unconventional weapons, which would threaten the global climate.
The seminar sessions were also attended by Finish Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Defense, who underlined the importance of the non-NATO countries role in making further efforts to contain the Russian-Ukrainian war.
Participants tackled cybersecurity, and latest technologies to reduce the impacts on climate, which cast a shadow on global food security.
They underscored the importance of transferring information easily, and creating systems to preserve data and information that travel around the world from being hacked, especially information related to investment and money transfer.
The seminar was concluded with field visits to the Finnish navy, and participants were briefed on the importance of Finland’s location in contributing to containing the Russian-Ukrainian crisis, preserving the Arctic and climatic changes.
On the sidelines of the seminar, the Finnish Parliament Speaker met with the Jordanian parliamentary delegation, and commended the Jordanian role and efforts of His Majesty King Abdullah in all international forums that stress the need to maintain global security and peace, as well as His Majesty’s focus on exerting more efforts to reduce factors affecting climate change.
The Finnish Parliament Speaker also lauded the level of the Jordanian parliamentary delegation and its contribution to enriching discussions during the international seminar.
