A working meeting took place between Acting Head of the Republic of Bashkortostan Radiy Khabirov and Adviser to the President of the Russian Federation Anton Kobyakov as part of the participation of the delegation of the Republic of Bashkortostan in the Russian Investment Forum.

Discussion covered a wide range of issues related to the participation of Bashkortostan in the business agenda of Russia with the support of the Roscongress Foundation.

The meeting touched upon the preparation for celebrations of the 100th anniversary of the creation of the Republic of Bashkortostan, warmly calling to mind famous inhabitants of the republic – figures of culture, science, education, military heroes, and sporting heroes – who by their deeds and achievements brought glory to their homeland in Bashkortostan and abroad.

During the meeting, Kobyakov and Khabirov discussed infrastructure in the republic, which had been prepared for the SCO and BRICS summits held in Ufa in 2015. Kobyakov said: “We greatly appreciate the work of the leadership of the Republic of Bashkortostan in preparing the infrastructure for the summits. A new major international congress platform that can be successfully used for holding new events has appeared in Russia in the city of Ufa.” He expressed support for the initiatives of the republic to attract and conduct major international events and congresses.

Preparation for the World Folkloriada, the international folklore festival to be held in Bashkortostan in 2020, which has already received applications from folk art groups from 70 countries, was examined in detail.

“It is a great honour for our republic that the next Folkloriada will be held in Ufa. Bashkortostan has experience in holding large, serious international events. We have already begun preparing for the Folkloriada. In general, we have planned 10 sites within the republic. All work is being carried out according to plan”, Khabirov said.

The head of the region expressed confidence that the Republic of Bashkortostan would continue to actively participate in important international events, economic and investment forums, sporting events, events of the Russian Convention Bureau, and offsite investment presentation venues under the auspices of Roscongress.
