Japanese Parliament delegation consisting of 9 deputies from both
chambers of the Japanese Parliament who were in Moscow with an
official visit. The delegation was led by General Secretary of the
Parliament Association of Russian-Japanese Friendship, former
Minister of Economy Y. Hatiro, and most of the deputies represented
the ruling Democratic Party of Japan. As part of the visit, the
Japanese Parliament Member met with the founder of METROPOL Group,
Deputy of the 6th Duma Federal Assembly M.V. Slipenchuk, with the
participation of State Duma Deputies B.L. Reznik and V.I. Lysakov
from the Russian side. The meeting was devoted to renewal of
regular contacts between Parliament members of the two countries,
which had been suspended a few years before, The Japanese
side congratulated M.V. Slipenchuk on his election to the State
Duma and wished him to participate as actively in the
Russian-Japanese Inter-Parliamentary cooperation, as he used to do
in establishing bilateral financial and economic ties as General
Director of IFC METROPOL.
