The delegation of Kalmykia arrived on an official visit to the Republic of the Union of Myanmar 🇷🇺🇲🇲
Myanmar is a strategically important country for cooperation with Russia, especially in the context of expanding ties with Asia. The potential of our partnership is multifaceted: from the development of the tourism industry to the use of mineral wealth and the improvement of logistics. These areas open up new opportunities for cooperation.
Unlike the collective West, Russia advocates open, fair and mutually beneficial cooperation. Our country supports Myanma's initiatives and is ready to provide the necessary assistance. For Kalmykia, the key areas of interaction at the first stage of our cooperation are cultural and religious exchanges, assistance in improving spiritual and Buddhist education.
These issues were discussed at a meeting with the Minister of the Yangon Region, Mr. Saw Thein. We visited a sacred place - the Shwedagon Pagoda and the National Museum of Yangon, imbued with the spirit of history and the richest culture of the country. I invited our foreign colleagues to take part in the III International Buddhist Forum, which will be held next year. This event will become another platform for strengthening our ties.
I appreciate the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and personally the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Russia to Myanmar Iskander Kubarovich Azimov for organizing the meeting 🤝🏼
We will contribute to the further strengthening of the strategic partnership between our countries, which will allow us to move forward together ✊🏼
