Norilsk Nickel invested $100 million into the reconstruction of copper-nickel production in RSA
The president of Russia V.Putin and the president of the republic of South Africa Jacob Zuma met in the RSA on March 26 prior to the summit BRICS. They have signed a joint declaration on an establishment of an integral strategic partnership between the 2 countries.
After the meeting V.Putin asserted: “Our countries have a good foundation for a strengthening of cooperation. In 2012 the sales turnover went up by record 66.3% and reached almost $1 billion (it was twice less in 2011). Mutual trade volume is expected to be increased by several times in the mid-run. Russian companies attracted over $1 billion into the mutually profitable projects on the territory of the RSA, and invested these funds into the economics of the republic of South Africa.”
