"I think it's time to advance our relations," the head of the Penza Oblast stated.
"Our region is a significant industrial and agricultural center," the governor added. There are several fields in which we are developing effectively: machine tool construction, production of electronic products, shut-off valves, and technical security equipment. The agricultural sector and the construction industry are also developing dynamically."
