Indian MPs head to Tanzania for talks on AI, climate and security
The parliamentary delegation will join the IPU Assembly in Arusha on October 5–9, with technology, critical minerals and governance on the agenda.
An Indian parliamentary delegation has left for Tanzania ahead of international discussions covering artificial intelligence, critical minerals, climate change and security, the Rajya Sabha Secretariat said on October 3.
Deputy Chairman Harivansh leads the delegation to the Inter-Parliamentary Union's 153rd Assembly and related meetings in Arusha, scheduled for October 5–9. The gathering focuses on inclusive governance, public trust and opportunities for communities.
Indian members are expected to take part in sessions on AI and the future of work, maritime security, sustainable development, health and the protection of mountain and ocean ecosystems. Women's participation and democratic institutions also feature in the programme described by the secretariat.
Harivansh is scheduled to join the Governing Council, general debate, discussions on an emergency item and a hearing with candidates for IPU president.
