They also discussed major orientations for further advancing the relationship in a more substantive and effective manner.
The two sides agreed to continue increasing contacts and delegation exchanges at all levels, especially high-level ones, between their parties, states, governments, NAs, and peoples in order to further consolidate political trust and mutual understanding, forming a solid foundation for promoting and expanding bilateral cooperation across all spheres.
Both sides concurred in stepping up visits by high-ranking parliamentary leaders, specialised committees, and parliamentary friendship groups to share information and experiences in legislative activities.
They also agreed to strengthen ties in supervising, monitoring, and supporting the Governments' effective implementation of high-level agreements and commitments. They reached consensus on the main theme of the 6th legislative seminar between the two NAs, scheduled for the first half of 2026.
The two parliaments will also continue to coordinate closely and support each other at regional and international inter-parliamentary forums to contribute to peace, cooperation, and development in their regions and the world.
