It is important to have direct contact, especially with those who represent foreign countries, he said. "Specifics of any country are a kind of barrier to organize a business in any state. Especially in the Russian Federation that has recently been in the socialist system and now has moved into the market. I am convinced that this platform allows today to discuss the state of our affairs and the problems that there are, "- said the President of the Republic of Tatatrstan.

Currency fever, western sanctions, rapidly falling oil prices, difficult access to foreign technologies and capital creates certain problems in the operation, Rustam Minnikhanov admitted. On the other hand, these difficulties provide a competitive advantage for creative investors.

"Our task is to give you confidence that your business will be maintained, in spite of all the situational moments. We need to give confidence to investors that they will receive all necessary assistance as part of our agreements. I would like you to now freely express your preferences and concerns. My colleagues are here with me: the mayor, ministers, representatives of law enforcement and supervisory authorities. We are in the same boat, because the success of your business is the success of our republic, "- Rustam Minnikhanov said. He stressed that the political aspects should not affect economic relations. All foreign enterprises on the territory of the Republic of Tatarstan are residents of the Russian Federation, he added, that is they are the full-fledged Russian enterprises. "95% of the professionals working there are representatives of Tatarstan and other regions of Russia. Their products replace imports. What we used imported from abroad, we have made today", - added the President of the Republic of Tatarstan.

According to Rustam Minnikhanov, good economic relations in the future will serve as the speedy resolution of political differences.
