“We believe that Kazakhstani partners have a good opportunity to replace companies from unfriendly states that have stopped working on the Russian market,” TASS quoted Mishustin as saying during negotiations with his Kazakh counterpart Alikhan Smailov on the sidelines of Innoprom.
According to him, in the near future it is planned to launch infrastructure and transport projects as part of import substitution programs.
Earlier, the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said that foreign companies are interested in returning to the Russian market and are waiting for the moment to “reverse entry”.
On June 28, it became known that the Finnish tire manufacturer Nokian Tires decided on a controlled withdrawal from the Russian market.
Also, the Italian tire manufacturer Pirelli announced the suspension of investments and the restriction of the operation of its factories in Russia in connection with the events in Ukraine.
