They also discussed the observance of deadlines, checking the compliance of works with the project, control over technology, bringing the territory of the complex into proper sanitary condition and its improvement.

The first meeting was an introductory one, during which the participants were able to get to know each other.

A plan of joint work was also developed, which we hope will benefit our republic.
