Interaction between SMEs in Russia and the Arab World

05 Jun , 14:15–15:45
Russian Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Forum: Foreign Economic Activity
pavilion G, conference hall G4

In the context of globalization and increased competition in the world markets, cooperation with Arab countries is becoming increasingly relevant. The Arab world is one of the world’s biggest economic regions, where rich natural resources, industry, and agriculture are concentrated. The growing market for goods and services in the Arab world holds great potential for Russian entrepreneurs. Also, innovative solutions and distinctive products from Russia can meet the needs of Arab consumers. The interaction between SMEs from Russia and the Arab world can become the basis for long-term and mutually beneficial cooperation. This will help to strengthen international relations, boost the economy, and improve the wellbeing of our countries. What is the right way to build a high-quality dialogue aimed at strengthening trade and economic relations between SMEs in Russia and the Arab world?
