During the visit, the Azeri delegation will meet Belarus colleagues Sergey Maskevich and chairpersons of two permanent commissions of the Council of Republic – Nina Mazay and Yevgeniy Smirnov.

"First of all, we are going to discuss the prospects of inter-parliamentary cooperation," Maskevich said, specifying that the agreement on inter-parliamentary cooperation was signed between National Assembly of Belarus and Milli Majlis of Azerbaijan in 2009.

“For us it is important to discuss and scrutinize real documents (within the bounds of the international inter-parliamentary structures) rather than obtain support from Azeri colleagues”, he added.

The delegation of Azerbaijani parliament will also meet representatives of the ministries of justice, foreign affairs of Belarus, Minsk State Linguistic University.
