In this age of interdependence and interconnectivity, the role of Parliament, especially, parliamentarians, has become central to resolving global issues that cut across geographical, political, regional and continental divides. However, while there exist a number of inter-parliamentary organizations that bring Parliaments into the international and regional affairs equation, dedicated forums that seek to empower, enable, connect, rally together and encourage individual parliamentarians to play a proactive role in the world and regional affairs are conspicuous by their sheer absence.

Filling up this vacuum, the IPC aims to address the prevailing global ‘governance gap’ by mainstreaming parliamentarians from around the continents and regions right into international and regional governance and diplomacy matrices.
