The bilateral meeting was held in the framework of the inauguration ceremony of the President of Brazil attended by Russian delegation headed by the Chairman of the State Duma, Viacheslav Volodin.

 

The parliamentarians emphasized the importance of developing cooperation between parliamentarians of the two countries, including within the framework of the BRICS.
