The Deputy Foreign Minister for International Economic Relations, Dimitris Mardas, met at the Foreign Ministry today with representatives of the textile and clothing sector. The meeting, which was aimed at expanding the potential for strengthening the extroversion of the textile and clothing sector, was also attended by Dimitris Velanis, Special Advisor to the Prime Minister.
Given that 2016 has been officially declared a “Greek Year” in Russia and a “Russian Year” in Greece, there was an in-depth consideration of the prospects for broad activation of Greek enterprises in the Russian market. More specifically, there was a discussion of issues such as the potential for the participation of Greek businesses in international exhibitions in Russia, the organization, via Foreign Ministry structures, of business visits/meetings with Russian businesses and agencies, as well as the organizations of ad hoc meetings with counterpart agencies in the Russian market.
Finally, within the framework of developing interregional cooperation, the meeting looked at the potential for wider support of Greek enterprises in international markets.
