 Russia and UAE start inter-parliamentary cooperation

Speaker of Russia’s Federation Council upper parliament house Valentina Matviyenko and the Speaker of the UAE Federal National Council Amal Al Qubaisi signed an agreement on the development of inter-parliamentary cooperation.

Under the document, the sides will develop parliamentary cooperation via dialogue, consultations and close contacts between the two parliaments’ committees. The document also provides for the establishment of inter-parliamentary friendship groups.

"The sides will encourage closer trade-and-economic and cultural cooperation between the two countries and their parliaments," TASS cited the document as saying.

"I hope the agreement will give a fresh impetus to our contacts," Matviyenko said, adding that the United Arab Emirates is among Russia’s major partners in the Gulf region.
