Nina Shtanski, addressing the Head of the Official Mission of the Republic of Abkhazia, expressed gratitude to the leadership and people of the fraternal republic for special attention to the Pridnestrovian problematics and support in difficult times for Pridnestrovie. “We, unfortunately, face with a large number of threats, restrictions in the foreign and economic terms. This, of course, slows down our joint plans which related to the deepening economic and trade cooperation between Pridnestrovie and Abkhazia. But I am sure that our intensive dialogue in other areas will contribute to the preservation and expansion of those important contacts that we establish more than one year”- stressed the Minister.

Alexander Vataman, in his turn, shared the results of a trip to the Republic of Abkhazia and the interaction with the country's leadership. In addition, he conveyed congratulations to Nina Shtanski on behalf of Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Abkhazia Vyacheslav Chirikba on Diplomats’ Day of Pridnestrovie held last Tuesday.

The sides exchanged views on the prospects of interaction between Pridnestrovie and Abkhazia in the economic sphere, culture, sports, also inter-agency cooperation. They discussed issues of preparation for celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Great Victory and the 25th anniversary of the formation of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic.
