Greetings to 10th Russian-Austrian Business Council’s business forum 2017-06-21 10:30:00 Vladimir Putin sent his greetings to the 10th Russian-Austrian Business Council’s business forum. The message reads, in part: “Over these ten years, the Council has brought together representatives of more than 100 companies and has in full measure proven its usefulness and effectiveness, making a substantial contribution to developing trade and economic relations between Russia and Austria. Importantly, business organisations from both countries find in this Council a platform that facilitates exchange of commercial proposals and innovative ideas and the execution of contracts. This contributes to developing and implementing mutually advantageous joint projects in a broad range of areas, coordinating investment activity, developing promising markets, expanding ties between small and medium business, and strengthening interregional ties. I hope that today’s forum will produce proposals for further developing productive business cooperation between Russia and Austria”.
