The Czech Republic is one of the leading economic partners of Tatarstan – one of six Russian regions officially recognized by the Government of the Czech Republic as priority partners. Tatarstan is cooperating with the country in such industries as automobile production, medicine, petrochemistry, construction and implementing modern projects in the agricultural sector. Last April, Tatarstan’s President Rustam Minnikhanov met with Michal Hashek. At that time, the parties announced their mutual interest in the development of their further cooperation in business and in general between the regions.
During the return visit to Tatarstan, Michal Hashek emphasized that he had gladly accepted an invitation to arrive in the republic. “I’d like to note that the South Moravian Republic has the richest relations with Russia. I’ve arrived here with a representative delegation, and we will discuss concrete projects during our meetings in Tatarstan. In the first place, this will be about machine building,” the hejtman said.
