As part of the development of international cooperation in the field of youth policy, it is planned to sign a memorandum with the Ministry of Youth Affairs of the republic during a return visit of the Junior Chamber of Japan to Tatarstan.

Minnikhanov thanked the activists for an opportunity to meet and expressed his hope that it would give impetus to the development of further cooperation.
