Chair of the Milli Majlis Sahiba Gafarova has had a conversation with Deputy Chair of Verkhovna Rada Olena Kondratiuk.

Telling the guest she was glad to welcome her to the Parliament of Azerbaijan, Mrs Gafarova thanked Mrs Kondratiuk for her participation in the special National Leader Heydar Aliyev Centenary session of the Milli Majlis.

The history of the relations between our countries and peoples is really great; our peoples have lived in friendship for long years and this relationship continues. Azerbaijan has always kept promotion of her links with friendly states including Ukraine in focus, according to Sahiba Gafarova.

As for the inter-legislature connexions, they, too, are setting high standards. Azerbaijan and Ukraine have close co-operation going bilaterally as well as through international organisations; both countries have inter-parliamentary friendship groups, besides. Members of the Rada group were in Azerbaijan in February this year and four members of the Milli Majlis group travelled to Ukraine in April.

Mrs Gafarova and Mrs Kondratiuk also discussed at length several other topics of common interest.
