Among the items imported by the R. of B. are machines, equipment and vehicles (40.5%), fuel and mineral raw materials (5.3%), metals (11.3%), chemical products, fertilizers, rubber (16.9%), food and agricultural raw materials (7.4%). the Ministry of Foreign Ties of the R. of B. conducts state regulation of foreign ties, promotes the operation of managing bodies and coordinates the activities of ministries, agencies, administration of cities and districts in the sphere of international economic, cultural, scientific, technological and other ties with foreign countries.

Ranking second in the Urals region in terms of manufacturing potential, the R. of B. is a largest industrial centre of Russia, the two dominant multi-branch complexes being machine-building and technologically and economically interrelated oil and gas extracting, oil refining, petrochemical, chemical and microbiological industries. The engineering sector is most developing and promising. Bashkortostan numbers about 130 companies of 25 branches of machine-building which are largely dedicated to oil and gas extraction and processing, chemistry and petrochemistry, mining. Electrical engineering and instrument building are developing as well as the automotive industry. Sterlitamak is the centre for machine-tools and pipelayers production, Neftekamsk – for vehicle fabrication, Uchaly – for timber procurement machinery, whereas Beloretsk is famous for metallurgical business. Defence-oriented companies and R&D institutions possess high-capacity production facilities, state-of-the-art equipment and manufacturing processes. Switching over to civilian production, they launch high-tech items, including new equipment and technologies capable of competing both domestically and internationally. The dominating in the industrial potential of Bashkortostan are extracting industries – oil, gas and coal production, mining, timber procurement.

According to natural conditions the territory of Bashkortostan can be divided into three parts – western, mountainous and Bashkir Trans-Urals. The western part is located upon the Russian Plains. It is hear that the majority of the population lives. Mountainous Bashkortostan encompasses the South Ural Mountains. Bashkir Trans-Urals forms a narrow strip to the east of the Ural Mountains along the Republic’s eastern border merging with the West Siberian Plains. Bashkortostan climate is continental, with moderately warm, sometimes hot summers and cold winters. More than 600 rivers and 800 lakes trim the beauty of the republic’s nature. Many of them including the largest – the Ural and the Aghidel – belong to the Caspian Sea basin. Bashkortostan is rich in forests covering one-third of its area. The predominant species are birch-tree, conifers, lime-tree, oak and maple. It’s the lime-tree that makes Bashkir honey world-famous. The latter’s taste and bouquet, as well as the superb quality of the famous healing koumiss (fermented mare’s milk) are contributed to by a rare combination of the vegetation growing on forest glades, edges and meadows, in the rolling Bashkortostani steppes. The south-east of the land, in the upper reaches of the Aghidel, is the location of the Bashkir Preserve which boasts up to 750 plant species, about 200 species of birds, and where bears, foxes, elks, hares and other animals roam at large. The fragrant air of the hilly and steppe areas, medicinal mineral waters of various compositions and properties, curative mud – all contribute to making the Republic of Bashkortostan a major health resort. A wide chain of camping and tourist centres offers various kinds of recreation: hikes, tourism on horseback, in horse-drawn sledges and on skis, sailing down on Aghidel on rafts, catamarans and canoes.

The leading educational institutions of the R.of B. are Bashkir State University, Ufa State Petroleum Technological University, Bashkir State Medical University, Ufa State Institute of Arts, Ufa State Aviation Technical University, Bashkir State Agrarian University, Bashkir State Pedagogical University, Ufa Technological Institute of Service, Sterlitamak State Pedagogical Institute, Birsk State Pedagogical Institute.

Professor and teaching staff in the institutions is about 5,000 people, with more than 450 doctors and 2,500 candidates of science(s). The number of the instructors in the secondary educational institutions is about 4 thousand people. Nowadays24 dissertation boards function on the basis of higher educational institutions. The main resource potential of scientists (about 75% of all scientists with scientific degrees) is concentrated in the higher educational institutions. Here successfully function acknowledged in the whole world scientific schools in organic chemistry and high molecular combination, car construction and pressure processing of metals, petrochemistry and oil refining. Last years the process of changing status of higher and secondary educational institutions is being carries out intensively. Four leading higher educational institutions obtained the status of universities – these are Ufa State Aviational Technical University, Ufa State Petroleum Technological University, Bashkir State Agrarian University, Bashkir State Medical University and 24 secondary special educational institutions were reorganized to colleges.
