“Our managers, both Russians and Germans, would undoubtedly be relieved if the large number of good vaccines available in the world - no matter where they came from: from Russia, from the EU, from America or from China - were mutually recognized”, - he stated.

According to him, the coronavirus does not ask who is in front of him: German, Russian, American, Indian or African and what kind of vaccine a person is vaccinated with.

“Our polls clearly show that members of the Russian-German Chamber of Commerce would be happy if governments mutually recognized vaccines, if Russia and the European Union mutually recognized vaccines.

It is absolutely clear that this is the unambiguous desire of Russian and German managers and thousands of our members, ”he stressed.

Earlier, presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said that reciprocal steps from the West are needed to approve foreign vaccines against coronavirus infection in Russia.
