“There is room to move. We have 700-plus million dollars of trade turnover. We set a goal of a billion dollars. I think we will still achieve a billion dollars, despite the problems and difficulties that exist today, but which, as it turns out, only strengthen us if we do not stand still. We have learned to produce streetcars, electric buses and buses. We do everything. But we do it together. This is also very important,” said the head of state.
