You have a very busy schedule. And I would like to express my condolences over the death of the sailors in the Barents Sea. Please accept my sympathy during this difficult period of time.

We have established a high-level commission that will raise our inter-parliamentary cooperation to a qualitatively new level. We have signed a protocol on this.
