"Currently, we’re focusing on the Asian partners. At the SPIEF forum, for instance, we held a session with ASEAN member states", said the interviewee. "They take Russia’s ideas with a keen interest. Except for traditional military hardware, its digital stuff is of the increasingly large interest".

Vadim Korotkov emphasized that Asian partners were facing problems with purchasing of Western equipment, in particular, American one, and tried to diversify the import.

At SPIEF-2019, the Indian delegation was headed by the ambassador to Russia Mr. Bala Venkatesh Varma. It was his first visit to the forum.
