During the conversation, Minnikhanov said that he often pays working visits to the United Arab Emirates and participates with interest in the Dubai Investment Forum and IDEX International Defence Exhibition in Abu Dhabi. “Last autumn in Dubai, I took part in the Global Islamic Economic Summit.

The companies are actively investing in the countries of Asia and Africa, and are also interested in investing in the economy of Russian regions.
