Not only that, beyond this, my mission is two fold. \u00a0I also came here as an executive committee member (EXCO) for\u00a0 \u00a0CPA; to come and consolidate the relations that exist between the Caribbean and the Africa region. \u00a0These two regions have a lot in common and on many issues, we usually sing from the same hymn\u2026. on issues that pertain to the CPA in general\u2026..\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Swaziland M.P also added that in terms of parliamentary practice and procedure, \u201cthere is a lot we can learn from Dominica\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Speaker of the Dominica House of\u00a0 Assembly and Chairperson of the Dominica branch of the CPA, Hon.
