“One of the forms of cooperation is parliamentary working groups. It is important to facilitate the political processes that we are actively developing. There is full understanding at the level of the heads of state and government. The economic commission is working on the relevant issues. It is very important that the parliamentary interaction bring economic benefits, too,” said Liliya Ananich.

The working group is an effective tool for parliamentary, humanitarian cooperation, development of human contacts and cooperation at all parliamentary platforms. We see our task in activating this work and would like the two working groups to meet either in Minsk or in Azerbaijan. We will talk about it,” said Liliya Ananich.
