davydov, i give the floor to darius alexander , thank you, indeed ruslan davydov is already in our studio. ruslan alekseevich hello again. fundamental redistribution and in favor of africa, but nevertheless, the figures, for now, well, modest enough, what are we ready to do to ensure that these figures are really quite modest so far in absolute terms, but their growth rates are impressive, if last year africa accounted for 2.3% of the trade turnover of the russian federation, this months, that is, in 5 months we have already overtaken half of last year. again, here is the problem of logistics, again here the problem of logistics for africa is always topical logistics problems so much so that when a similar us africa forum was held for about six months back in the us there are some us experts. they said that we don't need to organize our transport routes in africa now, this has already been done by chinese companies there. it is too difficult, is russia now ready to take on such a big strategic task and create new transport vehicles. we are developing a north-south transport corridor, which means access to the indian ocean. there dafrike, what is called a stone's throw? here, and secondly, our transport routes, at least north africa. and this our main trading partners among african countries are egypt, algeria, a thief, libya, uh, they, in fact, are quite traditional for us and not so far away, so this is the black sea mediterranean communication, which, in principle, has for us. there is a very great potential, if we were not yet harmed by illegal sanctions. i think the effect would be even greater. how much the sanctions really hinder the development of relations now, and with african countries, including in terms of settlements, well, this was discussed just now on plenary session and it is no coincidence. i think two representatives of the financial sector. uh, they said on the main panel, but uh, they are trying to interfere with everything, they are trying to interfere with logistics , they are trying to interfere with the calculations, but nonetheless. but if we talk about logistics, literally today is the first ship. uh, the fez lines unloaded in cape town, they brought in thousands of containers of solar panels, this is a very serious step, because, well, we are with good hope, and we all hope that with africa, too, we will have good good hopes. as for financial accounts, then, well, there is the introduction of the digital ruble , the digital currency, probably, will also help us to some extent overcome these illegal sanctions. well, the topic of calculations is very serious, and in fact, it needs to be dealt with very seriously. in africa will work here, what is called on earth? we said that you are preparing to open a representative office in egypt , a representative office in egypt and that our representative, as it were, supervises the entire region of north africa so that he can help on the spot to solve those problems in egypt, uh , the president announced that we will develop our industrial park, and i think that here, uh, customs will also be in place. e help with this. literally 2 weeks ago, in cape town, we signed an expensive card with africans on e, mutual recognition of an authorized economic operator , representatives of south africa, by the way , good news for everyone. who is engaged in africa, it was the representative of the south african republic who became, and this year , the chairman of the world customs organizations, and therefore in the international arena. i think our cooperation is also possible there and the cooperation will be active. as for the reference of certain benefits for our companies, the federal agency for fisheries stated that these are the 20% duties that often exist on russian fish products. they significantly hinder our trade turnover. have these issues been discussed, perhaps they are planned to be discussed within the framework of the eurasian economic commission. and, well, here, i think that, probably, it is necessary to continue this line, which vladimir vladimirovich said. this is the creation of a truly duty-free free trade with the african union. and the eurasian union the eurasian union and the eurasian commission are very actively working on agreements in the free trade zone. this is the middle east, vietnam, uh, so, well, now the african countries have a very large potential, and, of course, all these preferential agreements. they will further stimulate our mutual trade even further. where we start from north africa has a greater ready-made potential of this shorter logistics. this traditional markets for our e-grain e-e natural resources. i mean energy goods. uh, machine tools kamaz equipment is actively working in africa, this machine equipment, therefore, uh africans. eh, actually. uh, it seems to me that that's just for our what we call non-commodity non- energy exports. that is, it is the export of machinery and equipment. this is indeed a very promising market for the writing of the agreement, and the own production of our cars in uganda. sorry, well, not like unplowed bullets, but a very great potential, because the base is really low. for the time being, you still have to practice and practice there. we will. this is slava valentinovich. thank you very much for the interview. thank you , but i remind you that we talked live with the head of the federal customs service of russia, ruslan davydova, we, alexander, will give you the floor for a while. we are waiting for many more new guests in our studio in st. petersburg. thank you, i remind you that the interim head of the federal customs service. ruslan davydov radio sputnik let's figure out how yogurt really is, and i pay everything for okroshka with cashback and not only through the system of fast payments and there will be a cashback of 5 percent bonuses on a magnet card. make profitable purchases through st. petersburg in the magnet network. in the scooter, we knew the main thing is creaminess, but did ekaterina know how to find it?
