Speaking to the head of Kaluga, Konstantin Gorobtsov, Sergey Danliyuk noted the high organisational level of the event, as well as a large number of local innovation-driven enterprises. He noted the fact that since 2005 Tiraspol and Kaluga have been linked with a cooperation agreement in the spheres of economy, culture and education.
In turn, Vladimir Trandasir underscored that «unfortunately there has been a pause in recent years; contacts between the municipalities have been limited to youth exchanges, and therefore, with the parties' consent this visit to Kaluga may find a new lease of life and seriously refresh the structure of the agreement signed by the cities.»

Kaluga's head thanked the guests for the meeting, underscoring the importance and necessity of further development of fraternal ties. «We are friends with a lot of CIS and foreign cities, including Tiraspol. In my opinion, a number of provisions of the agreement signed in 2005 between our cities have become obsolete; it is necessary to introduce new ones which were voiced during today's meeting in order to jointly move forward, dynamically developing economic and cultural ties, supporting the interests of the Russian world," said Kaluga's mayor.
