Donetsk, Feb 5 - DAN. The Donetsk People’s Republic Industry and Trade Ministry and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry on Tuesday signed a cooperation agreement to look for new markets in former Soviet republics, Industry and Trade Minister Eduard Armatov said.
“This agreement will help us find new destinations in CIS states, present our quality products and establish contact with CIS chambers of commerce and industry,” Armatov said.
Domestically produced goods can be competitive in the CIS market, he added.
