Parliament has announced that it will hold the first parliamentary session of the year on March 4.
The session will commence with the annual presidential address as per article 84 of the Constitution, where the President will highlight the state of the country, as well as measures taken to resolve the country’s difficulties.

A parliament spokesperson said parliament has made all the necessary preparations for the session.
