The increase of interregional cooperation efficiency was discussed today at the plenary session by participants of the III Interregional forum "Comonwealth-2009" to be held in Khanty-Mansiysk.

At present there have been established long-term economic partner relations of the region with 23 regions of Russia. Active work for the implementation of the agreements has been done with Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Ivanov, Nizhegorod, Tomsk, Sverdlovsk, Omsk and Leningrad Regions. Republics of Bashkortostan and Tatarstan. "Because of the absence in Ugra of big companies to provide the region with industrial products and consumer goods, the import to the region is carried out due to partner relations with constituent entities of Russia which border on Ugra. Most part of production comes to Ugra from the South of the Tyumen Region and city of Tyumen. The interaction with other constituent entities of the Federation is made mainly in humanitarian sphere: information, technologies and experience  exchange", - emphasized in her speech Chairperson of the Committee for External Relations Zinaida Sakhautdinova.

In her opinion, interregional economic relations today have come to a new level: "there are goals to form production and technological chains-clusters. For that it is necessary to unite economic potential of the region with possibilities of other regions, to build up the production of the technological chain to provide deep processing of raw materials based on the advanced technologies into commodities which are in sustainable demand on internal and international markets. The clusters formation will be based on resources the Khanty-Mansiysk Okrug is rich in: gas, oil, timber. Recently it has been signed the agreement with the Ivanov Region and we hope it will serve an example of economic integration. Hydrocarbons delivered from Ugra after deep processing will turn into textile products which are needed in petrochemical and timber industries".

Chairperson of the Committee for External Relations also told about the interaction of the Okrug with CIS countries aimed at activation of interrelations with compatriots who live abroad, use of republics potential and joint efforts for the development of the States economics.
