The National Assembly Chairman also emphasized the task of strengthening, consolidating and further tightening the relationship between the legislative bodies of the two countries, which has been very warm and has a long tradition, promoting the role of parliamentary cooperation in implementing and concretizing the strategic cooperation orientations between the two countries.
