Moscow and Omsk region sign Cooperation Agreement

The signing took place within the framework of the Omsk Region Days in Moscow, which are taking place in the capital on September 12 and 13.

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin and Omsk Region Governor Alexander Burkov signed an agreement on trade, economic, scientific, technical and cultural cooperation between the two regions.

- Omsk region is an important partner of Moscow. And I am very glad that every year our cooperation is deepening and economic ties are growing," said Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin. – I hope the new agreement will give an impetus to the further development of our friendly and economic ties for the benefit of Moscow and the residents of the Omsk region.

- Friendship with Moscow is very dear to us. Historically, the Omsk Region has been connected with Moscow for more than a decade, starting from the time of the Great Patriotic War, when several dozen enterprises moved to Omsk, and the Vakhtangov Drama Theater also moved. Our ties are still strong today. This includes cooperation between enterprises in the field of industry, between Omsk and Moscow institutes. Extensive constructive cooperation has developed in the fields of education, healthcare, and culture. The agreement opens up new opportunities for us. I am confident that our trade and economic relations will develop," said Governor Alexander Burkov.

The document develops the provisions of the previous bilateral Agreement signed in 2014. It is envisaged that the regions will create conditions for expanding interregional cooperation in various fields, such as transport, information communications, industry, agro-industrial complex, trade and services, architecture and construction, housing and communal services, urban improvement, healthcare, education, science, culture, tourism, sports, environmental protection, family and youth politics and others.

The signing of the bilateral Agreement took place within the framework of the Omsk Region Days in Moscow, which are taking place in the capital on September 12 and 13. The business program of the event includes round tables on various areas of cooperation (tourism, healthcare, education, youth policy, and others) with the participation of representatives of the business community of Moscow and the Omsk region.

The cultural program included a musical and choreographic performance based on the work of Vasily Surikov "Revelations of the History of Russia" performed by the Omsk State Russian Folk Choir and the Omsk Academic Symphony Orchestra. The production, prepared for the 170th anniversary of the birth of the Russian artist, was shown on the stage of the Moscow theater "Novaya Opera" named after E.V. Kolobov.

A photo exhibition of the sights of the Omsk region is taking place in Krasnaya Presnya Park, and the State Central Museum of Modern History of Russia will present the exhibition "The Craft of the Master: Omsk crafts and crafts" today.
