Russia Boasts Record-High Trade Turnover With UAE as Delayed Dubai Expo 2020 Finally Kicks Off
"We are confident that after Expo 2020 we will make new partners in Arab countries, but we are also talking about opening new areas of partnership. Russian industry is actively developing in the spheres of nuclear energy, traditional and alternative energy sources - we have something to show in the field of wind generation, solar energy, digital technologies, and mechanical engineering. A number of enterprises, including metallurgical facilities, have already been built in the Middle East region using Russian technologies and on Russian investments".
"This is how the delayed effect worked - there was a period when we were making contacts, preparing various projects, and now these efforts are paying off. This year, the profits from cooperation with the UAE will be more than the last one, since we have almost reached $3 billion in trade turnover in just seven months. This result already equals the turnover from last year, therefore, I think we will definitely break the record from 2020 and will fight for a new one".
