🇷🇺 Russia's Foreign Ministry Ambassador-at-Large for the G20, APEC and BEP issues Marat Berdyev:
Russia is actively fostering foreign trade and economic relations.
🤝 In the first nine months of 2024, Russia's trade turnover with foreign partners amounted to 584 billion dollars.
We traditionally preserved surplus in export-import transactions.
Russia developed the most intense commercial ties with the friendly nations: China 🇨🇳, India 🇮🇳, Türkiye 🇹🇷, Belarus 🇧🇾, and Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 are in the top five.
We enhance close cooperation with the Global South/East nations within the framework of the key multilateral formats, the #G20, #APEC in particular, and also with the promising participants of the Greater Eurasian Partnership (#GEP) flagship initiative.
Together we are seeking the creation of fair markets, supply chains and global institutions that meet the interests of the Global Majority.
