하원, 필리핀 아세안 의회연맹(AIPA) 개최 규모 축소

치솟는 유가 속에서 하원은 긴축 정책의 일환으로 올해 필리핀에서 열리는 아세안 의회연맹(AIPA) 회의 개최 규모를 축소하기로 했다. 대면 행사는 10월 총회와 11월 인터페이스 회의로 제한되며, 그 외 회의는 온라인 방식으로 전환된다.

하원은 기록적인 유가 상승으로 인해 올해 필리핀에서 주최하는 아세안 의회연맹(AIPA) 회의 규모를 축소한다고 발표했다.

파우스티노 디 3세(Faustino Dy III) 하원의장은 회의의 목적을 훼손하지 않으면서도 긴축 정책을 채택하라는 대통령의 지침을 따르고 있다고 밝혔다. 의장은 대면 활동을 10월 총회와 11월 인터페이스 회의로만 제한할 것이라고 말했다.

하원의 AIPA 조직 업무를 총괄하는 마리아 레이첼 아레나스(Maria Rachel Arenas) 부의장 겸 외교위원장은 두 가지 핵심 대면 행사를 중심으로 하이브리드 형식으로 원활하게 전환하기 위해 준비 과정을 재조정하고 있다고 전했다.

이번 조치는 치솟는 유가가 정부 지출에 미치는 영향을 해결하기 위한 노력의 일환이다.
