The head of the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Sergei Katyrin, told Tatar-inform what hinders cooperation with Islamic countries.
“The first is the issue of mutual payments, they are quite complicated. I can’t say that with absolutely everyone, but with a number of countries, yes. In particular, secondary sanctions put pressure on Turkey and some of our other colleagues. There are problems here, of course. We won’t hide it, this is a well-known fact,” Katyrin answered a question from Tatar-inform.
These issues, in particular, are being worked on by the Russian Government, business structures, the Central Bank, etc. Issues are resolved on an individual basis, for example, Russia continues cooperation with Turkey in the field of trade, Katyrin noted.
“The second is logistics. Now we have to bypass Europe with a number of prohibitions that exist in sanctions. There seem to be more than 20 thousand sanctions already, no one even counts them anymore. We simply proceed from the situation and think about how to solve this. This, of course, is the construction of North-South transport corridors and others necessary for the mutual delivery of goods,” said the head of the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
The third challenge to overcome concerns the use of national currencies and digital assets.
The head of the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Sergei Katyrin, arrived in Kazan to participate in the International Forum and Exhibition of Chambers of Commerce and Industry as part of the XV International Economic Forum “Russia - Islamic World: KazanForum”. This event will take place in the capital of Tatarstan on May 19.
The main program of the forum began today. A total of 125 thematic sessions will be organized in 12 different areas - the detailed program can be found on the website of the international event. KazanForum has been held in Tatarstan annually since 2009. By decision of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the event received federal status from 2023.
