On the first day of the Krasnoyarsk Economic Forum, Anton Narchuganov, Head of the Agency for Development of Northern Territories and Support of Indigenous Peoples of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, and Alexander Chernikov, Director of the Siberian Institute of Creative Industries Development, signed a cooperation agreement. It is designed to work together to promote the arts and crafts of the indigenous peoples of Russia, living in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The press service of the regional government states so.

The parties agreed to carry out joint activities to promote the culture and national identities of small peoples, as well as to cooperate with public associations of small peoples.

'When it comes to promoting and branding folk crafts products, we cannot do without the involvement of experts from the Siberian Institute of Creative Industries Development. With the agreement we have signed today, we will give a strong impetus to the development of traditional economic activities and crafts, which will receive an economic boost and turn northerners from a hobby into a good source of income,' Narchuganov said.

In turn, Alexander Chernikov, Director of the Siberian Institute of Creative Industries Development, stressed that it is very important to work together to develop creative entrepreneurship in the north of the Krasnoyarsk Territory.
