A Memorandum of Cooperation was signed in Tskhinval between the councils of young diplomats of the foreign ministries of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
The document was signed by the chairmen of the councils of the two republics, Aleksey Sanakoev and Astanda Pataraia.
As noted by Aleksey Sanakoev, the purpose of the Memorandum is to establish direct ties between the councils of young diplomats of South Ossetia and Abkhazia, as well as to discuss issues of mutual interest.
"In addition, within the framework of the signed document, exchange of experience will be held, a discussion of projects reflecting international and regional problems.
Our colleagues from Abkhazia have a lot of experience behind them. They created their council 10 years ago, and today we were discussing the projects and initiatives that they already had at the bilateral consultations.
This is important for us, we will use the experience of our Abkhaz colleagues in our work,” Sanakoev said.
He has emphasized that a film festival is planned within the framework of the signed Memorandum.
“This project is still at the discussion stage, but we want to hold a film festival, present the films made in South Ossetia to our Abkhaz friends, and present the films by the Abkhaz authors to our viewers. In addition, we plan to work with representatives of the youth policy sphere. There are many plans, I think fruitful work is awaiting us,” he has emphasized.
