Sen. Rand Paul, who has supported President Donald Trump’s effort to improve relations with Russia, announced Monday that Russian lawmakers have agreed to visit the U.S. Capitol.

“Engagement is vital to our national security and peace around the world,” Paul (R-Ky.) said in a statement. He is currently in Moscow meeting with Russian officials, in addition to visiting the U.S. embassy in the city.

Paul said he met with Konstantin Kosachev, chairman of the Russia Federation Council Committee on Foreign Affairs. The council is Russia’s equivalent of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, on which Paul serves as a member.

During his discussion with Kosachev, Paul said the two “agreed on the importance of continued dialogue.” He said he invited the Russian Federation to send a delegation to the capital, and that Kosachev “agreed to take this important next step.” (H/T Politico)
