MINSK, 25 May (BelTA) – Inter-parliamentary relations between Belarus and Algeria are reaching a more systemic level, Chairman of the House of Representatives Igor Sergeyenko told journalists after signing a memorandum of cooperation between the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of Belarus and the National People’s Assembly of the Parliament of Algeria in Minsk on 25 May, BelTA has learned.
“Today’s visit to Minsk by the parliamentary delegation from Algeria’s National People’s Assembly marks a turning point in our bilateral ties.

After reciprocal delegation visits over the last two years, this high-level meeting sets the seal on our preliminary cooperation,” Igor Sergeyenko said.
