Alexander Novak met with the President of the Republic of Abkhazia Badra Gunba
As part of an official visit to the Republic of Abkhazia, Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Alexander Novak met with the President of the Republic of Abkhazia Badra Gunba. During the talks, the parties discussed key areas of bilateral cooperation, including issues of socio-economic development, strengthening infrastructure and expanding humanitarian ties.
"Over the past four years, the program for the socio-economic development of the Republic of Abkhazia has been successfully implemented. The volume of trade between our countries has grown by 60%. According to the results of several months of 2025, the growth in trade turnover was about 30%. Russia provides support for the socio-economic development of the republic. We see enormous potential for the development of agriculture and tourism in the republic. For us, Abkhazia is a reliable and friendly partner. We have common ideas and initiatives, the same view of the situation in the world, which should become multipolar," said Alexander Novak.
The President of the Republic of Abkhazia Badra Gunba noted that the difficulties the republic faces are not easy, but with the support of the Russian Federation, they can be overcome. "It is very important for us to implement all the programs that we have outlined. Based on the results of 2022-2025, we see positive results: trade turnover has grown significantly, GDP has increased by 187%. These are serious indicators. I am confident that the implementation of the current program will give a special impetus to the development of the economy of our republic," the head of Abkhazia noted.
During the visit, the 20th meeting of the Russian-Abkhaz Intergovernmental Commission was also held, at which the parties discussed key areas of cooperation and outlined further steps for the socio-economic development of the republic.
The delegation visited a number of significant sites, including the site of the future Children's Republican Hospital, the Sukhum International Airport named after V.G. Ardzinba. "Despite the existing challenges, our work remains systematic, and cooperation remains practical. Russia and Abkhazia continue to consistently strengthen their strategic partnership. Today, we are jointly building a common space of security and sustainability, implementing large-scale programs for the development of key industries," noted Alexander Novak.
During the meeting, the parties agreed on a number of important decisions. Among them are the continuation of the implementation of the State Program for the Socio-Economic Development of the Republic of Abkhazia for 2022–2025, the extension of the basic agreement on socio-economic cooperation until 2030, which will create the basis for a new five-year program for 2026–2030. The agreement should come into force by the end of the year.
“I am confident that the results of our joint work will create the basis for sustainable movement forward, will strengthen our strategic partnership and will bring tangible benefits to the citizens of Russia and Abkhazia,” Alexander Novak summed up.
