Prime Minister Vladimir Putin attends a limited attendance meeting of CIS delegation heads
“We are moving in the right direction and using the right methods,” Vladimir Putin said at the limited attendance meeting of CIS delegation heads.
Opening the meeting, Vladimir Putin pointed out that CIS countries managed to perform fairly well in trade and economic relations during the difficult post-crisis year. To encourage direct ties between production facilities, companies and regions the prime minister also suggested setting up exhibition halls for CIS member states at the Russian Exhibition Centre in Moscow, thus reviving the old and, as he believes, useful tradition.
“The main thing is that our decisions help our companies cooperate in a wide range of industries and use the advantages of integration to pursue new joint projects.”
