UK, Russia must rebuild economic relationship - Cameron.

LONDON (Itar-Tass) - The Russian economy is growing
faster than the average in Europe and offers great opportunities for
British businesses, UK Prime Minister David Cameron said in an exclusive
interview with Itar-Tass ahead of his official talks in Moscow on Monday.
"On the economy, we're already working closely on a wide range of
areas that are vital to our national interest. For example, our trading
relationship is growing stronger, with British exports to Russia up more
that 60% this year," he said. "The Russian economy is growing faster than
the average in Europe, and offers great opportunities for British
businesses. That's why I am travelling to Moscow with a high-powered
delegation of British business leaders, and it reinforces why we must
rebuild our relationship."
"I'd like to see more trade between our two countries - more companies
expanding their business like the Kingfisher Group opening 9 new stores in
Russia; and more cooperation on research and development like the new
technology developed in Cambridge that has enabled lightweight, plastic
e-Readers to go to Russian school pupils," Cameron said.
"And I want us to reinvigorate our dialogue with Russia on climate
change and energy, human rights and international security issues; and
increasingly close people to people links in areas like education, culture and science," he said
