Speaker of the Milli Majlis Sahiba Gafarova met with members of the Czechia-Azerbaijan Inter-Parliamentary Friendship Group as part of her official visit to the Czech Republic. There was an exchange of opinions about the relations between our countries and their parliaments at the meeting.

Sahiba Gafarova was saying that that was her first visit to the Czech Republic as Chair of the Milli Majlis and expressed a confidence that the visits and meetings during it will have a benevolent effect on a continued expansion of the relations. The Speaker underlined the importance of reciprocal visits and a regular dialogue, saying that the relations between our legislatures constituted a substantial part of the relations between Azerbaijan and the Czech Republic. In particular, she stressed, further expansion of contacts between the friendship groups will facilitate the co-operation.

He also stressed the necessity of communicating truthful facts and information about our countries to the public, of broadening the connexions between our parliaments and of reciprocal visits.
