Organisational Support of Foreign Economic Activity

In 1992, the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations was established to ensure development and implementation of the state foreign economic policy of the Republic of Tatarstan, as well as its coordination and regulation in accordance with the decisions of the supreme state power and administration bodies of the Republic of Tatarstan.

With the aim to assist President of the Republic of Tatarstan in exercising single foreign policy of the Republic of Tatarstan, the Department of External Relations under Tatarstan President is established by the presidential Decree in 1995.

The task of expanding and developing the bilateral trading, economic, scientific, technical, cultural and humanitarian relations has necessitated the creation of the representative offices of the Republic abroad.
