The document was signed by the chairmen of the two institutions, Aleksandr Sherba and Vladimir Kyssa, IPN reports.

“We hope the interparliamentary relations will improve the legislative basis of Gagauzia. We will learn things from Tiraspol, while the Transnistrian side will borrow something from our legislation,” stated the chairman of the People’s Assembly of Gagauzia Vladimir Kyssa.

For his part, Aleksandr Sherba noted the extension of relations, including at interparliamentary level, will bring benefits to the Transnistrian and Gagauz people. “Together with our Gagauz brothers, we will work out integrationist mechanisms to ensure our economic cooperation with the Russian Federation.

Vladimir Kyssa invited Aleksandr Sherba to visit Gagauzia on the Day of Comrat Town.

The first cooperation agreement between the Supreme Soviet of Transnistria and the People’s Assembly of Gagauzia was signed on March 29, 2012.
