Bahrain is an important trade and economic partner for us in the Middle East region. Rais of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov made the statement at his meeting with Minister of Justice, Islamic Affairs and Waqf of Bahrain Nawaf bin Mohammed Al Maawda today. The meeting took place at the RT Government House.
The rais of Tatarstan thanked the minister for visiting Kazan to participate in the International Economic Forum "Russia - Islamic World: KazanForum".
"We attach great importance to interaction with Bahrain. The leaders of our countries maintain constant contact. Tatarstan at its level seeks to contribute to the development of cooperation within the framework of Russia-Bahrain relations," Rustam Minnikhanov stressed.
He noted that the level of trade turnover between Tatarstan and Bahrain doesn't meet the existing opportunities. Rustam Minnikhanov proposed to intensify work on increasing the volume of bilateral trade, as well as to strengthen ties in the scientific, educational, cultural and tourist spheres.
