South Korea’s National Assembly presided over the sixth MIKTA Speakers’ Consultation on video Thursday. The theme of the event was “Complex challenges and parliamentary leadership in a pandemic era.”
Launched in 2013, MIKTA is a consultative body made up of five middle powers Mexico, Indonesia, Korea, Turkey and Australia that share the core values of democracy and a free-market economy.
Since 2015, each of the five member states has hosted one meeting with Korea serving as the chair. This year National Assembly Speaker Park Byeong-seug led the discussion.
