# National Assembly speaker, Thoko Didiza, and National Council of Provinces chairperson, Refilwe Mtshweni-Tsipane, say they have noted the concerns raised by some political parties regarding the parliamentary delegation currently undertaking an official bilateral working visit to Russia.

Parliament spokesperson, Moloto Mothapo, says the complaints will be dealt with through the appropriate parliamentary processes:
