To set up a permanent Inter-Parliamentary Committee on Cooperation between the Parliament of South Ossetia and the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation.
According to Igor Kochiev, between South Ossetia and Abkhazia there are historically established friendly relations in many spheres, including in the sphere of inter-parliamentary activities. After the signing of the agreement inter-parliamentary relations between the two countries will come to a new level and become more systematic.
MP Alexander Pliev has stressed the need for the agreement to establish further cooperation between the parliaments of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
