"You can see for yourself the difficult economic and geopolitical situation our countries face," Manturov said at a press conference on the results of a meeting of the Russia-China industrial cooperation subcommittee in the southwestern Chinese city of Kunming.
The main reason comes from the fact that we manufacture a large number of competitive products, related to the iron and steel industry as well as non-ferrous metals, especially aluminum. The stronger the Chinese and Russian industries become, the more dissatisfied our Western partners, especially the US."
"However, this only encourages us to cooperate more in the areas we discussed today. These include the metallurgical industry, aluminum, radio-electronics, pharmaceuticals, automobile manufacturing and new breakthrough areas," Minister Manturov stressed.
The Russian Minister of Trade and Industry concluded: "The pressure, sanctions and embargoes imposed by Western countries and the United States further motivate us to cooperate and seek common solutions and products"./.
