The Pridnestrovian delegation discussed foreign policy issues with Farit Mukhametshin

The delegation of the Supreme Council of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic headed by Alexander Korshunov met in Moscow with the Deputy Chairman of the Committee of the Federation Council on International Affairs Farit Mukhametshin.

The issues of inter-parliamentary cooperation, the development of economic ties between Pridnestrovie and Russian regions, as well as the situation around the Pridnestrovian settlement in the context of internal political processes taking place in the Republic of Moldova were discussed, according to the website of the Federation Council.

There is concern in Pridnestrovie about the supply of American weapons to the Republic of Moldova. The PMR Supreme Council deputies noted that the authorities of the neighboring state violate the norms of international law: they restrict the movement of Pridnestrovians, detain cargo at the border, and ignore the established security zone.

Farit Mukhametshin emphasized that any blockade methods of influencing Pridnestrovie, which the authorities of Ukraine and Moldova have been increasingly actively using lately, are counterproductive and lead the process of resolving the conflict on the Dniester to a dead end.

Farit Mukhametshin noted that the Russian Federation shares the assessments of the Pridnestrovian side regarding the provocative nature of the rhetoric of official Chisinau on the subject of the Russian military presence in the region and the current format of the peacekeeping operation.

Alexander Korshunov spoke in detail about the socio-economic situation in the PMR and made a number of proposals for the development of systemic trade and investment cooperation between the Russian regions and Pridnestrovie.

The parties paid attention during the meeting to issues of support for Russian compatriots living in the republic. It was about expanding cooperation with Pridnestrovie in the social and humanitarian sphere, about further steps to implement joint scientific and educational projects of Russian universities and the Pridnestrovian State University named after T.G. Shevchenko in particular.
