“This is another step to promote and boost our cooperation. Over the past ten years, and especially the past two years, we managed to build a good understanding of what we can do together. First of all, our manufacturers must be able to operate on equal terms in these markets. After all, a greater efficiency of our economies, enterprises and organizations will help increase the well-being of people,” said Yuri Shuleiko.
He noted that Brest Oblast sent a large delegation to the forum. “We worked hard. We left a day earlier to see more, meet with more people. We studied cooperation prospects in various areas - agriculture, manufacturing, social issues, culture. There are a lot of ideas and prospects for cooperation,” the governor noted.
The Brest Oblast delegation was especially interested in the patriotic education of the youth in Bashkortostan. “Ufa has a youth patriotic center Patriot. This is similar to what we will have in the Brest Fortress. The government of the Republic of Bashkortostan created it literally within a year and a half on the premises of disbanded military units. This center operates all the year round. We also learned some useful things from this experience and it helped us build a clear picture of what we should do to maximize the effect of this work,” the governor noted.
On the sidelines of the forum the Brest Oblast Executive Committee and the Novosibirsk Oblast administration signed an action plan for 2024-2026 to implement a cooperation agreement in trade, economy, science, technology and culture.
The Brest Oblast Council of Deputies signed an agreement on inter-parliamentary cooperation with the Legislative Assembly of Penza Oblast and approved an action plan to implement the agreement for 2023-2025 with the Legislative Assembly of Kaluga Oblast.
According to Yuri Shuleiko, Brest Oblast invited heads of a number of Russian regions to come to Brest Oblast in autumn to flesh out these agreements.
