The co-chairs of the commission
discussed trade-related matters, in particular, mutual deliveries of
agricultural produce to the markets, interaction in services and investment,
digitalisation and ICT, innovation and sustainable development, as well as
cooperation in commercial arbitration.
In his welcoming remarks, Dmitry
Chernyshenko thanked his colleagues for their support in establishing a Russian
Cultural Centre with an Orthodox church in Singapore. He also praised the
commission’s effective work, which resulted in the opening of the joint Digital
Innovations and ICT Centre in Singapore. The centre assists Russian and
Singaporean companies in entering the respective markets.
“Cooperating in digitalisation is one of
the key areas we are exploring. The commission is going to take further joint
steps to promote high-tech companies on both countries’ markets. Russian
exporters are also interested in increasing food supplies to Singapore. We are
grateful to our Singaporean colleagues for performing a videoconference
inspection of a Russian poultry meat production facility. We know that it was Singapore’s
first audit in this format, and we are delighted to have participated in that experience.
As for the future, I propose adopting a joint goal to bring mutual trade up to $5
billion by 2025,” Dmitry Chernyshenko said.
