The Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Madagascar said that the two nations shared the same destiny just a couple of decades ago and were part of the socialist movement. Today, their parliaments face the same challenges and should resume cooperation and develop a partnership. He hopes that the parliaments of Serbia and Madagascar would advance their relations by establishing parliamentary friendship groups and cooperation between their working bodies, so as to bring the two nations closer together and build bridges between the two cultures.

“It is time to strengthen our friendship and launch new projects. Just like the honourable people of Serbia, the people of Madagascar also strive for a better life. In a short time you have become the tiger of the Balkans and I want to convey that to my compatriots. This is the beginning of a fruitful cooperation and I am sure our people will take concrete steps toward meeting their potential, a path on which we can count on reciprocal support”, said Rakotomamonjy.

The sitting was chaired by Committee Deputy Chairperson Aleksandra Djurovic, and was attended, in addition to the Committee members and MPs, by National Assembly Speaker Maja Gojkovic and representatives of the diplomatic corps in the Republic of Serbia.
