Moscow : Russian President Vladimir Putin presented before Parliament on Tuesday three international agreements on judicial cooperation with other states for their prompt ratification.
The Duma (lower chamber) received an accord signed with Angola in 2006 regarding the exchange of people tried and a second agreement signed with Mexico in June 2005 calling for the parties to help each other in judicial matters.
The third document refers to pacts signed with Marruecos in September 2006, regarding the handing over of people tried and sentenced to imprisonment, a note by the Kremlin press service said.
Today, President Putin signed a document appointing Deputy Justice Minister Anatoli Bondar as his official representative during discussions of these documents in both chambers of the Federal Assembly.
The Russian Duma will be off for Christmas holidays for over two weeks, and it will be in session again on January 11 as part of its fifth legislative term.
