“We look forward to the 7th meeting of the intergovernmental commission on economic cooperation, which we’re co-chairing.

Bayramov expressed hope that the protocol will serve as a roadmap of the multifaceted cooperation.
“We highly value the role of parliamentary diplomacy as a good instrument to promote cooperation between national parliaments and boost their participation in the diplomacy. We believe it is important to expand the interparliamentary cooperation between our countries. The visit of the speaker of Milli Majlis (parliament) of Azerbaijan Sahiba Gafarova to Lithuania in February 2022 contributed to the development of our relations at the parliamentary level. In order to strengthen the interparliamentary cooperation it is important to further increase the efforts of friendship groups operating in the parliaments of both countries,” he added.
