Head of Gagauzia Evghenia Guțul met with the Governor of the Astrakhan Region Igor Babushkin

On the margins of SPIEF-2024, the Governor (Bashkan) of Gagauzia, Evghenia Guțul, held a meeting with the Governor of the Astrakhan region, Igor Babushkin.
He expressed support for the Gagauzians and noted the unconditional usefulness of the regions' co-operation prospects.
“First of all, it will be useful for our farmers. Now one of the main tasks is to provide comprehensive assistance to the agro-industrial complex of the autonomy. I am sure that Gagauzia and the Astrakhan region will find mutually beneficial points of contact, for example, the exchange of seeds of agricultural crops for breeding. We are already promoting our agricultural products on the Russian markets, and now we plan to organise study visits for Gagauz farmers, in order to study the best practices of our Russian colleagues in the development of small farms, irrigation, combating soil erosion and drought consequences.
We will be glad to have a cultural exchange! We will familiarise Astrakhans with our traditions and art and will be happy to host Astrakhan musical groups, hold creative evenings and much more,” the Bashkan of Gagauzia said after the meeting.
