Russia encourages companies to seek more trade in Asia
Russia wants to expand trade relationships in Asia to offset the economic impact of the Eurozone debt crisis.
The country's economy is driven by exports of gas and oil, but the government in Moscow is determined to develop other industries.
Russia's minister for trade of the Eurasian Economic Commission, Andrei Slepnev, told the BBC's Sharanjit Leyl that Asia offers many opportunities for business beyond the energy sector.
