Commonwealth Womens Parliamentarians

The Commonwealth Womens Parliamentarians was started in Barbados in 1989 at the General Assembly of CPA. I attended that Conference as Norfolk Island's Minister for Community Services and was fortunate to be a founding Member of CWP. This week CWP met for their Planning Meeting in Norfolk Island.

The Planning Meeting was very successful and Andres understands the important part that Norfolk Island can play in being a central and easily accessible venue for meetings where the Australian region and the Pacific region must meet.
