Delegates from the working delegation agreed that the draft Law on Participation in U.N.

Feedback and contributions shared during the survey will be gathered, reviewed, and integrated into the draft Law, which will then proceed through the next legislative steps before submission to the N.A. for official adoption in the near future.
