“On 27 March 2017 we will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Alma-Ata Agreement which established the CIS Interparliamentary Assembly. At the meeting this May, the IPA CIS Council adopted a working plan dedicated to this important date”, said Alexey Sergeev.

He informed journalists that the central anniversary events would be held in St. Petersburg, in the Tavrichesky Palace.
