Rustam Minnikhanov: Tatarstan and Bashkortostan enterprises should cooperate more actively

On September 2, in his interview after a roundtable “Expansion of regional chemical and petrochemical products in capital construction” that was held during Tatarstan Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Forum 2015 in Kazan, Interim President of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov said that Tatarstan and Bashkortostan enterprises should cooperate more actively.

Participants of the roundtable discussed prospects of chemical and petrochemical products manufactured by Tatarstan enterprises.

Speaking to journalists about results of the session, Head of Bashkortostan Rustem Khamitov said that Tatarstan and Bashkortostan should cooperate in the sphere of the use of new materials and production scale-up more actively.

“Today we see that Tatarstan and Bashkortostan scientists and innovative companies do not work together whereas our republics can promote their joint products in Volga Federal District and Ural Federal District. This is what we need now,” Rustem Khamitov summarized. Also, he mentioned creation of joint oil, gas and petrochemical cluster.
