The chairman of the Board of Directors of Central Asia Capital, Anton Sobyin, and the director of the Central Asian representative office of the “Russian Newspaper”, Dmitry Evlashkov, signed a memorandum of understanding.

The parties agreed to develop joint projects to strengthen economic, humanitarian, and cultural ties between Kyrgyzstan and Russia.

“Cooperation with the 'Russian Newspaper' will help create a strong information agenda and establish a sustainable dialogue between the countries,” noted Anton Sobyin.

Dmitry Evlashkov emphasized that the representative office is interested in objective and regular coverage of economic processes in Central Asia. He called the Central Asia Capital fund a reliable partner for this work.

Initial results are already available. The website RG.RU has launched a section called “Special Projects”, where a piece on the role of Russian investments in the economy of Kyrgyzstan and the contribution of Central Asia Capital to these processes has been published.

Earlier, together with the “Russian Newspaper”, the fund launched a number of initiatives:

• The media project “Central Asia Capital” on RG.RU

• A limited edition of stamps “Kyrgyzstanis — Heroes of the Soviet Union”

• Anton Sobyin's author column

• A writing competition for schoolchildren from Kyrgyzstan

In the near future, the fund plans to participate in new events. Central Asia Capital will act as a sponsor and will join the Organizing Committee.

The agreement marked a step towards long-term partnership. We combine efforts to launch significant projects and develop dialogue between Russia and Kyrgyzstan.
