ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (Sputnik) - The Russian trade delegation in China has received many proposals from Chinese companies willing to replace Western products on the Russian market, Alexey Dakhnovsky, Russia's trade representative in China, said on Thursday. "The trade representative office receives a lot of proposals from Chinese companies that offer not only products, but also technologies to replace Western goods [in Russia]," Dakhnovsky said on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).
