Earlier, the Senator underscored the need for bringing the position of the Federation Council to the foreign public’s notice.
“Members of the senators’ commission used to meet with diplomats prior to the elections in Russia. As a rule it concerned diplomats from Western countries. This meeting with ambassadors from friendly countries is a new format for us. We made it a point that the Federation Council Commission on Protecting State Sovereignty and Preventing Interference in the Domestic Affairs of the Russian Federation was open for interaction with diplomatic representatives from friendly countries. We are ready to exchange information with them for protecting state sovereignty by parliamentary methods,” stressed Andrey Klimov.
