I thank you for such attention to our region,' Budargin told Mironov. 'Following the results of your visit in May, we took a series of decisions on the issues that we'd discussed.

Budargin praised the development of cooperation with national manufacturers of the equipment for the power grid, including with producers of Yaroslavl Region.

In this respect, Mironov believes that cooperation on the development of production on the base of industrial sites of Yaroslavl Region is a strategic pathway.

In addition, pursuant to the Order of the Russian President Vladimir Putin, Mironov proposed the 'Rosseti' company to set up a pilot and innovation center for carrying out research and development works.
