Asia is emerging as a promising market for Russian goods, and both sides are taking steps to strengthen their relations.

Today, exporting companies from the Leningrad Region participated in a meeting with the director of the "Termez" transport and logistics hub, located near Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan.
