Russian senators are ready to actively cooperate with the Senegalese parliament, Chairwoman of the Russian Upper House Valentina Matviyenko said.
Senegal is Russia's proven and reliable partner in Africa, and there is great potential for further development of relations, Matviyenko added.
"On behalf of Russia's Upper House and on my own behalf, I congratulate you on the national holiday of the Republic of Senegal - Independence Day," she said.
This year, on April 4, Senegalese citizens celebrate the 64th anniversary of the country's independence.
