In his turn, Talant Mamytov noted with satisfaction that there is full understanding between the two countries, which allows developing fruitful cooperation.
“Given the fact that in 2021 the election campaigns in our countries successfully completed and new compositions of the Jogorku Kenesh and State Duma are formed, I propose to organize this year the 10th meeting of the Kyrgyz-Russian Inter-Parliamentary Commission, which is planned to be held in Kyrgyzstan,” the Kyrgyz speaker suggested.
