Within the framework of a comprehensive, equal, trusting partnership and strategic interaction between the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China, dialogue with China is a priority for the Republic of Tatarstan.
It is enough to note that in recent years, China has been one of the five key foreign trade partners of the republic. Cooperation in trade, economic, scientific, technical, educational, cultural and humanitarian spheres is growing stronger. Experts note the favorable dynamics of friendly interaction.
Parliamentary interaction between China and Tatarstan is developing, as well as a fruitful party dialogue between the leading political forces - the Communist Party of the People's Republic of China and UNITED RUSSIA. The permanent nature of cooperation is expressed in regular joint events, exchange of delegations, joint research work, information and other projects.
During the Forum, participants in the interstate dialogue will discuss issues on the bilateral agenda, exchange practical knowledge in the areas of party building, parliamentary and legislative activity, and also exchange views on key socio-political initiatives. Special attention will be paid to the historical analysis of the Russian-Chinese party dialogue and promising directions for its development in the current geopolitical conditions.
