INTRODUCTION BY THE CHAIR OF THE SOC-G-PD GROUP, BRYONY RUDKIN:

"Thank you to everyone who attended the plenary session in March.  We had some powerful debates with important and impactful contributions from members of our Group.  I know you will all be concerned to hear of the recent earthquake in Türkiye and our thoughts are with all our Turkish colleagues who we know are at the forefront of defending democracy alongside the challenge of natural disasters.  I really hope you find this newsletter helpful and are able to use the content in your own media messaging.  I look forward to hearing from you in the coming months."
