Azerbaijan, Baku, Oct. 9 / Trend /

Ingushetia is ready to provide Azerbaijan with state guarantees to implement major projects, Ingushetia's President Yunus-bek Yevkurov said. His statement was posted on the presidential official website on Saturday.

"I have high hopes for both sides' cooperation," Yevkurov said.

Ingushetia has made several lucrative proposals to Azerbaijan to develop tourism, the agroindustrial complex and hydro-power engineering this week.

Azerbaijan and Ingushetia signed a strategic agreement on economic cooperation last Tuesday. The signing ceremony took place during Russian Deputy Prime Minister, the Russian President's Plenipotentiary Envoy to the North Caucasus Federal District Alexander Khloponin's official visit to Azerbaijan. He was accompanied by officials and business representatives.

Ingushetia's delegation was headed by President Yunus-bek Yevkurov.

Khloponin said during the visit that the mutual exchange in cultural and economic spheres within the intergovernmental agreements will positively affect the turnover and the extent of cooperation between the two countries.

"The agreement is the beginning of our fruitful relations," he said. "I would like to reach another, higher level of cooperation."

About 71 subjects of the Russian Federation are involved in foreign trade with Azerbaijan. About 15 Russian regions signed an agreement on trade-economic, scientific-technical and cultural cooperation.

In 2011, Azerbaijan and Russia plan to reach a record index $2.8-3 billion in trade turnover. A $2.4-billion record index in trade turnover was reached between Azerbaijan and Russia in 2008.
