New Delhi: Lone Rajya Sabha member from Meghalaya, Wansuk Syiem, will be part of a delegation leaving for Switzerland next month to attend a meeting of the International Parliamentary Union.
The 12-member parliamentary delegation led by Sumitra Mahajan will be leaving for Switzerland on October 23 for five days.

The IPU will hold elections to appoint its president and vice-presidents for the 135th Assembly. It will also have a general debate on human rights abuses as precursors of conflict and freedom of women to participate in political processes fully, IPU sources said.
