Skopje, 23 December 2024 (MIA) - Parliament Speaker Afrim Gashi and French Ambassador Christophe Le Rigoleur reviewed Monday the opportunities and modalities for future cooperation with French institutions, following the Speaker's recent visit to Paris.

Speaker Gashi expressed gratitude to Ambassador Le Rigoleur for raising bilateral cooperation to a higher level with relevant representatives of the French Republic, and voiced preparedness to maintain this established dialogue on topics of mutual interest, the Parliament said in a press release.

He also highlighted the positive impressions on the meetings in Paris, and readiness of French politicians to support our Euro-integration process.

Ambassador Le Rigoleur stressed that the initiative to visit Paris and make personal contact with French colleagues and state representatives is of particular importance, since it helps to create a bilateral dynamic of mutual cooperation.

Interlocutors agreed on the need to determine the fields of exchange of views and experiences at all parliamentary levels, including through the Cooperation and Friendship Groups, and utilize the expertise offered by the French Parliament and Senate for parliamentary work. They also agreed on the need for joint efforts to increase the number of French investments and trade exchange between the two countries, which, as it was assessed, are currently not at the desired level, reads the press release. ssh/ik/
