“Today I cited one good figure which in my view characterises the potential of our cooperation – this is a 36% growth of our trade,” the Russian prime minister said.

According to Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, trade and economic cooperation between the two countries has grown by one third over the past few years. “This is due both to the overall growth in trade turnover and to the ongoing integration between the three members of the Customs Union,” he added.
