Monrovia, Liberia, is set to host the 4th CoSPAL General Assembly from December 9 to 11, 2026, as the Conference of Speakers and Presidents of African Legislatures (CoSPAL) seeks harmonized laws to boost intra-African trade and investment. The three-day event will bring together Speakers and Presidents of African national legislatures to discuss legislative measures for accelerating economic integration.
The assembly, themed 'Enhancing Intra-African Trade and Investment Through Legislative Leadership and Parliamentary Cooperation,' will focus on removing legal and regulatory obstacles to economic integration. The upcoming gathering will convene under the leadership of Liberia, following a successful assessment visit by a CoSPAL delegation in late September.
The delegation, led by its Secretary-General, Ambassador Dapo Oyewole, reviewed proposed facilities, inspected logistical arrangements, and held consultations with local organizers and government authorities. CoSPAL Secretariat Secretary-General Ambassador Dapo Oyewole highlighted the importance of legislative systems in translating continental commitments into practical outcomes, emphasizing the need for harmonizing laws and establishing enabling legislative and regulatory frameworks across African countries.
The Chairperson of the Local Organising Committee, Hon. Nehker E. Gaye, expressed confidence in Liberia's ability to successfully host the continental legislative gathering.
