On 21 and 22 October in Athens, a conference organised by the Hellenic Parliament and the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe will be held, and President of Andrius Kupčinskas will join the conference on behalf of the Baltic Assembly.
During the conference Presidents of Parliament from the 47 Council of Europe member states, as well as many neighbouring and observer countries and other partner parliamentary assemblies will meet to discuss such topics as "Democracies facing the Covid-19 public health crisis: sharing experiences", "'#EnvironmentRightNow': national parliaments and the right to a healthy and sustainable environment" and "The common future of all European citizens".
Secretaries General of the participating parliaments and assemblies are also due to meet on the margin of the conference.
The first conference was held in 1975. It takes place every two years, hosted alternately in Strasbourg or in the capital of a Council of Europe member state. At the invitation of the Hellenic Parliament, it is held this year in Athens, when the country celebrates the bicentennial of its independence.
