Meeting between Rustem Khamitov and Almazbek Atambayev took place in Bishkek

UFA, 21 July 2017. /Bashinform News Agency/. In Bishkek, a working meeting of the Head of Bashkortostan Rustem Khamitov and President of the Kyrgyz Republic Almazbek Atambayev took place within the framework of the visit of the republican delegation to Kyrgyzstan. The sides discussed prospects for further strengthening of bilateral relations.

"I am grateful to you and your delegation for your visit to Kyrgyzstan and taking part in the forum "Altai Civilization", said the President of Kyrgyzstan. "I think this is a good way, leading directly to uniting, friendship, and not to confrontation, far from any political games. This is the way that does not allow good intentions to become a political weapon. "

"We have a lot of work ahead, including complicated issues that we will need to study together. We should explain our point of view and move forward on the path of rapprochement of our peoples, the cultural and linguistic interaction of our citizens," marked Rustem Khamitov. "We in Ufa always remember our visits to you, your state visit to the Russian Federation. You spent some time in Ufa, once again refreshed in memory that our scientists worked in Kyrgyzstan, that Bashkortostan and Ufa were a place of training of Kyrgyz educators, scientists, that the first books in the Kyrgyz language were printed in Ufa. Everything testifies to the fact that we have centuries-old ties – and they are real, not formal, not invented, not a subject of some writing. This kind of work, of course, involves our close cooperation. "
