The country also hosted the 22nd session of the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly in November 2011. The Organization of African, Caribbean, and Pacific States (OACPS) was previously known as the "ACP Group of States." The new name came into effect on April 5, 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
