Cooperation between the parliaments of Turkmenistan and Russia became a key topic at the meeting of President of Turkmenistan Serdar Berdimuhamedov with Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Vyacheslav Volodin, according to the official website of the State Duma.

"Last year's visit to Russia and meetings in the State Duma with dear Arkadag gave the impetus, thanks to which today we are here and will already work within the parliamentary dimension, discuss the development of inter—parliamentary ties, because it was the conversation last year in Moscow that became the basis of today's conversation here in Turkmenistan," Volodin said following the results of the meeting.

The Chairman of the State Duma also conveyed warm greetings from Russian President Vladimir Putin to the head of Turkmenistan.

Today Volodin will also meet with the Speaker of the Parliament of Turkmenistan (Mejlis) Gulshat Mammedova and will address the Turkmen deputies.

The visit of the Duma delegation to Turkmenistan was the first in 11 years, according to the website of the State Duma.
