Itinuturing ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na “strong vote of confidence” sa ekonomiya ng Pilipinas ang pagdalo ng maraming Russian investors sa isinagawang Philippines-Russia Business Forum sa Moscow.
Sinabi ni Pangulong Duterte, nagpapasalamat siya sa interes ng mga Russian investors na magnegosyo sa Pilipinas.
Ayon kay Pangulong Duterte, ang Russia ay isang prayoridad na trade and investment market ng bansa at ikinagalak nitong malamang dumarami ang economic exchanges ng Pilipinas at Russia.
Noong nakaraang taon, pumalo sa $1.36 billion ang kabuuang trade ng dalawang bansa kung saan nadoble ang naitala noong 2017 na $568 million.
“I thank you for your interest to do business as we are with you. On the Philippine-Russian economic relations, Russia is a priority trade and investment market for the Philippines. I am pleased to know that our economic exchanges are increasing,” ani Pangulong Duterte.
“Last year, our total trade reached US$1.36 billion. It has more than doubled in 2017 at US$568 million. Philippine export to Russia also reached US$86 million last year and increased from almost US$70 million in 2017. And this year, this upward trajectory continues. This indicates promising ties between our economies at an even higher level.”
