The prime minister announced plans to include the Chechen Republic in the North Caucasus mountain tourism cluster.

"This is a clear sign of the special friendship and good-natured relations that have linked all the ethnic groups of this country. They are of enduring significance for the development of our multi-ethnic culture."

“We must fundamentally change the situation in the region, make life in the North Caucasus attractive and, it goes without saying, safe and stable. This is our common goal.”
