Nairobi — National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula is in Beijing, China, to attend an international forum bringing together serving and former legislators to strengthen parliamentary relations and promote global cooperation.

In a statement posted on his social media accounts, Wetang'ula said the Legislators Forum for Friendly Exchanges provides a platform for dialogue, collaboration and the advancement of global peace and development.

The gathering brings together more than 60 legislators and former legislators from five continents.
