The development of interregional cooperation in the trade, economic, educational and tourism spheres was discussed on Tuesday at the meeting between President of South Ossetia Alan Gagloev and Governor of the Stavropol Territory Vladimir Vladimirov, according to the statement published on the official website of the head of state.
“Thank you for being our first forum visitors. I am very pleased to meet you personally, Alan Eduardovich. In fact, long-standing friendly relations have already been established between the Stavropol Territory and the Republic of South Ossetia, your students study here, and we come to you on vacation. I personally was in South Ossetia.
We will always support and provide full assistance. It is important for us that people feel comfortable in the North Caucasus,” Vladimir Vladimirov has assured.
Alan Gagloev has noted that the Stavropol Territory periodically provided assistance to the Republic of South Ossetia and thanked the governor.
“Today we have come to participate in the forum. I think that this pilot project will turn into an annual format, and we, for our part, will take part and rejoice in the achievements of our friends,” the President said.
Alan Gagloev also focused on the development of the investment potential of the Stavropol Territory, the development opportunities for the agricultural sector in the region and said that South Ossetia, first of all, was aimed at developing the agro-industrial complex.
“It would be interesting to have closer interaction between our departments, in particular, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Economy. We will be happy to learn from the experience that you apply to the development of the region," he said.
In addition, the parties outlined a plan for the development of cooperation in the field of business. The Governor noted that he was ready to send a group of specialists to South Ossetia to discuss business development and establish business ties.
