The discussions focused on three key areas: the application of digital tools in parliamentary work, policy assessment, and strategies to combat misinformation. Participants shared insights and best practices on leveraging AI to enhance legislative efficiency and decision-making.

This annual APF meeting serves as a vital platform for parliamentarians to exchange ideas and strengthen regional and global cooperation in governance and legislative processes.
