Several generations of our citizens have been brought up on the works of the famous Soviet and Kyrgyz writer Chingiz Aitmatov, and today film screenings and exhibitions dedicated to his work are taking place in Krasnoyarsk. After the Great Patriotic War, regional farmers sent wagons with potato seeds to the young republic as support for the development of agriculture. All this, of course, is already our common history, but it was then that the foundations were laid for further strengthening our fraternal relations."
