“The Asia-Pacific region is characterized by positive dynamics. A number of experts already now consider it to be the locomotive of the development of the world economy. We decided to create our own trader in this region, following the global economic trends. We are confident that our commercial move will help make a contribution to the successful expansion of the Group's business in the Asia-Pacific region by establishing a direct dialogue with local clients. We have already completed the first orders.
