Russia to develop partnership with East
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said at the XVII World Congress of Russian Press today that Russia will keep developing partnerships with countries of the East. He noted that the sanctions encouraged Russia to activate cooperation with Asian states, for example, signing the free trade agreement with Vietnam. 40 other countries are negotiating similar deals, he said. Medvedev added that fixing the partnership between the Eurasian Union and the Asia-Pacific Region was an exceptionally important course.
