“The sanctions turned out to have a significant impact on the work of more than 60% of those surveyed. At the same time, approximately 25% of the companies that lost their partners abroad found new ones.
According to him, now at least a third of the business is looking for new partners. So now they need help. For example, a large business trip to Iran was organized recently with the participation of 100 representatives of various companies from Russia.
