According to the chairman of the Penza Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Tajikistan is a young republic that is rapidly developing in all areas.
“Over the past 10 years, the city has changed a lot. There is an active construction, and taking into account all the requirements of seismology. The population is growing, it has increased by almost a million people. The majority are young people. Over 65% are people of working age,” Vladimir Podobed emphasized.
The Chairman of the Penza Chamber of Commerce and Industry noted that in the republic the Russian language is in constant communication, new schools are being opened where it is taught.
“I want to especially emphasize the respectful attitude towards Russians, towards former international relations and traditions. Economic relations are growing and strengthening, new projects and opportunities for cooperation in other areas are emerging. For example, in education, culture, tourism. It should be noted that almost 1,500 people study at Penza higher educational institutions today. I believe that this is one of the most friendly republics to us,” Vladimir Podobed concluded.
