JAKARTA - Russia is not limited in the number of countries it can cooperate with, relying on joint projects on mutually beneficial terms, said First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov.

This was stated by Deputy Prime Minister Manturov at the strategic session "Technological Leadership: Industrial Breakthroughs" held as part of the Innoprom-2025 exhibition.

"We are not limited in the list of countries with which we are ready to cooperate. Therefore, as before, and also in the future, I will not repeat myself, we rely on joint projects on mutually beneficial terms, if this is of interest to our partners," he said, as reported by TASS on July 9.

Deputy Prime Minister Manturov further noted that Russia is confident in industries such as the nuclear and space industry, the chemical industry, mineral fertilizers, the defense industry, and several others.

"Where we feel truly confident, we have reliable competencies, and we are ready to invite our partners to work on joint projects," Deputy Prime Minister Manturov said.

He cited cooperation with Belarus in the aviation industry as an example of interaction.

"Our colleagues have certain competencies in the aviation industry, but they primarily specialize in repair and component production. However, we agreed to create a joint project in the field of civil aviation, the 19-seat Osvey. I hope we will continue to progress in implementing this project," explained the Russian Deputy Prime Minister.

"This is just an example of how we must continue to advance in cooperation. First of all, with the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union, with the CIS and BRICS countries, and with the countries of Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East, including, one might say, Southeast Asia and Africa," he added.

The Innoprom-2025 exhibition, themed "Technological Leadership: Industrial Breakthrough," was held in Yekaterinburg from July 7 to 10.
