As the president noted, economic growth should be not only due to the domestic market, but mainly due to exports and external demand.

“Moreover, the problem of dependence on the market of one country should be finally resolved. We cannot even depend on fraternal Russia by 50–55%. We must diversify the markets, ”he said.

He recalled that earlier decisions had already been made on the need to develop exports to countries near and far abroad, to search for new markets, and serious progress was needed in this direction.
