Tiraspol, 6 July. /Novosti Pridnestrovya/. The Pridnestrovian International Economic Forum, during which the government is going to present for discussion its draft decisions on entrepreneurship, has begun its work today. Over 500 people from 15 countries have applied for participation.
At the opening ceremony the deputy prime minister on strategic development and reforms, Alexey Tsurkan, read President Krasnoselsky's address to the participants of PIEF 2017.
«The history of each country is a series of successive phases. Decline and crisis are giving way to growth and development. Sometimes it happens vice versa. The well-being of the country and the well-being of every citizen will depend on the way in which the state apparatus is operating in various economic circumstances," reads the president's address.
The president underscored that today the authorities and leaders of Pridnestrovie were consolidated and united in their desire to create favourable conditions for economic development. «The state and business must become equal partners with clearly defined rights and obligations, first and foremost social», the address notes.
Vadim Krasnoselsky recalled it was no accident that 2017 had been declared the Year of the Entrepreneur in the PMR. «Increased business activity, increased domestic and external investment, a legislation reform — all these factors are designed to bring Pridnestrovie's economy to a qualitatively new level and contribute to the improvement of the country's image," reads the address.
According to the president, the ties with foreign economic agents that have been tested over the years confirm that partnership with Pridnestrovie is mutually beneficial, which means it is possible and necessary to cooperate with Pridnestrovian economic agents.
«The Pridnestrovian International Economic Forum has proved to be a meaningful and efficient discussion platform. I wish the participants and guests successful work and fruitful contacts! I am convinced there is no alternative to development!» President Krasnoselsky's address underscores.
