Moldova and US to step up parliamentary cooperation - speaker says

Chisinau, Dec 6. /MOLDPRES/- The Republic of Moldova and the United States of America will step up parliamentary cooperation and several congressmen are expected to come to Chisinau to offer expertise. Speaker Igor Grosu made the statement after several meetings in the US with American lawmakers.
