The head of the region noted the dynamics of growth of trade turnover between Udmurtia and Kyrgyzstan.
«Over the past three years, the volume of mutual trade has almost tripled. Kyrgyzstan has firmly entered the top ten of our key trading partners.

The official added that Udmurtia exports leather and glass products, meat, dairy products and drinks to the Kyrgyz Republic.
«By the way, this year the export of champignon mushroom spawn has grown significantly. But I am sure that the trade turnover between our republics can be even greater. We have the potential and reserves for this,» he said.
Erik Beishembiev noted that «the dynamic growth of trade turnover is convincing evidence of the mutual benefit of our cooperation.»
«I am sure that the implementation of joint projects will bring tangible economic benefits to both parties,» he said.
