“I am sincerely pleased to welcome you to the Council of the Republic of the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus. This is a great opportunity to once again compare approaches in cooperation between our countries. For us, Kyrgyzstan has always been and remains a good, reliable partner, friend and kin country. We, of course, highly appreciate it,” Natalya Kochanova said. “As Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko noted, Minsk and Bishkek have achieved a lot over the past three decades. Our interaction is diverse and deep. Indeed, our heads of state laid a solid foundation for our cooperation, and today we have a good legal framework. These are the agreements that we have today and that have been signed between the governments of our countries.”
According to the speaker, cooperation between the two countries is vibrant. “You know, I have not seen such contacts with any other country. I've taken notice of it for myself. Of course, we are happy about this, because we can see what results Kyrgyzstan has today in the economy and in what is being done for the country and for the people. This deserves all respect,” said the chairwoman of the Council of the Republic.
“The inter-parliamentary dimension is very important to us. Inter-parliamentary cooperation at the present stage, in the modern world, is reaching a serious level. MPs should cooperate, should loudly declare the possibility of living in sovereign, independent states. We see what is happening in the world, and this cannot but raise concerns,” said Natalya Kochanova.
