The development of interregional and international cooperation was discussed in the Government of Dagestan

On Tuesday, August 11, Minister of Economy and Territorial Development RD Gadzhi Sultanov took part in a meeting on the development of foreign economic activity in the region.

The Republic of Dagestan cooperates with more than 60 foreign countries in trade, economic and humanitarian spheres. According to data for 2019, the foreign trade turnover in this area exceeded $ 165 million.

One of the main priorities is the provision of financial and non-financial measures to support regional export-oriented enterprises.

The main share of the region's exports is agricultural products, especially meat and meat by-products, as well as rice. Recently, Dagestan has begun to supply glass and glass containers to the foreign markets of the Caspian sheet glass plant and Dagsteklotar. An important mechanism for selling products in foreign markets is constant interaction with trade missions of Russia abroad.

“Now it is important to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the activities of the existing ones, as well as open additional representative offices in the Caspian countries, Turkey and Belarus,” stressed the head of the regional cabinet Artyom Zdunov during the meeting and instructed the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Republic of Dagestan to complete the development of a state program for the development of interregional and international cooperation.

The Prime Minister stressed that given the importance of foreign economic relations for our republic, it is necessary to build a systematic approach to this issue, because Dagestan has great potential.

“Today we have all the possibilities and measures of state support to bring the entity's exports to a new, higher level,” the prime minister added.
