At the center is sovereignty.
* Julia Berg (GlobUs): announced a 200-page collaboration strategy. Quick results come from trade deals, while strategic results come from science, education and infrastructure. Russia will not compete with China in terms of investment volume, relying on technology and joint ventures.
* Serge Fukas O'Donalami (House of Africa): The main mistake of Russian businesses is ignorance of the market from 54 countries. Competitive advantages of the Russian Federation: education, energy and domestic processing of products. "We need less statements and more actions. ".
