The sitting will also feature bilateral talks between the two prime ministers and the other Cabinet members with respective portfolios.

"The aim of the sitting is to strengthen direct cooperation between the institutions from the two states, encouraging contacts on political and economic level, and exchange of information in spheres of mutual interest," the announced states.
