Also business spoke about the regulation of infrastructure issues and attraction of private investment in logistics, integrated migration issues. At the same time, it is also important to promote the development of natural resources and launch of a civilized system of market relations with land resources, the introduction of integrated forest policy and so on. At the end of the meeting, it was agreed that the business community submit the proposals to resolve the current problematic issues and to develop a favorable business climate in the country. We thank the representatives of the political party for the open dialogue and look forward for further effective cooperation!
