The head of Rostec: “betrayal of the West” will not deprive Russia of partners in the rest of the world
Sergey Chemezov, CEO of the Rostec state corporation, said that Russia’s isolation, including technological isolation, as well as an attempt to do everything on its own, is “a road to nowhere.” He is convinced that Russia must remain part of the global world, where development is impossible without international partnerships. Mr. Chemezov is also confident that the “betrayal of the West” will not deprive Russia of partners in the rest of the world.
“The betrayal of the West is not a reason to close windows and doors. We are not observing along the paths with guides, but we have partners in other regions of the world who today behave consistently and principledly,” Mr. Chemezov wrote in his favor. RBC.
The head of Rostec also believes that the destruction of cooperation chains and, in general, the shock scenario that Russia faced, “has nothing to do with ordinary economic processes.” According to him, foreign partners are suffering enormous losses, breaking off relations with Russia, “as a result of which fair free trade is crossed out for the sake of politics.”
“The essential Western congresses and political institutions are forever discredited in the eyes of not only Russia, but the whole world. But they realize it a little later,” Mr. Chemezov explained. He called the restrictions imposed against Russia unprecedented, and the loss of access to products, technologies and components, according to him, “is not a signal for total import substitution.” “Replacing everything is pointless, economically inexpedient and impossible. I repeat, this does not make any developed country in the world,” added the head of Rostec.
