The Scottish Parliament is an outward looking organisation, committed to working with parliamentarians from across the world. The exchange of knowledge, ideas and experience is crucial to enabling the Parliament to meet its central purpose of holding the Scottish Government to account on behalf of people throughout Scotland.
This International Strategy sets out the aims and priorities of our international work this Session and how this will link directly to our policy, procedural and corporate interests.
A key part of my role as Presiding Officer is to represent the Parliament at home and abroad and I, with my colleagues on the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body, look forward to meeting and working with the many parliamentarians, international organisations and officials both in person or virtually throughout this Session.
