Islamabad : In a move to further strengthen bilateral parliamentary relations, Russia will send a high-level delegation to Islamabad next week to participate in the upcoming Inter-Parliamentary Speakers’ Conference (ISC), scheduled for November 11–12.
Seasoned politicians will co-lead the delegation: Senator Konstantin Kosachev, Deputy Speaker of the Russian Federation Council (the upper chamber of the Russian parliament), and Aleksandr Babakov, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma (the lower chamber of the Russian parliament).
The delegation will also include Vladimir Chizhov, the Chair of the Russia-Pakistan Friendship Group of the Russian Federation Council. Chizhov visited Pakistan in February 2024 to observe the general elections.
The Russian delegation is expected to meet with high-ranking Pakistani parliamentarians on the sidelines of the ISC to discuss the further promotion of bilateral relations, with a focus on parliamentary cooperation.
The participation of the Russian delegation underscores the growing importance Moscow attaches to its institutional ties with Pakistan and its commitment to fostering constructive inter-parliamentary relations.
