Yakut colleagues told about the events of this summer with forest fires, we are ready to share our experience. With great pleasure we will visit Yakutia as possible. We realized that the Yakuts are open and good people with whom we can do business. The human factor is the driver of our cooperation “, – Vladimir Karanik said.
