25/2 Tass 221

SEOUL, February 25 (Itar-Tass) -- Russia's trade mission in South
Korea and the Korea Importers Association on Friday signed a cooperation
agreement.
"For the first time in the 20-years' history of Russian-South Korean relations and for the first time in the history of the Russian trade mission here, we are signing such an agreement with one of the biggest organizations in South Korea," Mikhail Bondarenko, the head of the Russian trade mission, told Itar-Tass after the signing ceremony.
"Our plans for this year include representations of two [Russian]
regions in the Republic of Korea. We have also agreed to send two business missions from the Korea Importers Association to these two regions," he said.
According to Bondarenko, the Russian trade mission is planning to sign similar agreements with other South Korea's big organizations engaged in foreign economic activities. "In all, we plan to hold presentations of eight regions during this year. As for the first two Russian regions I spoke about earlier, one of them will be the republic of Buryatia, and we also plan to present the possibilities of the Sverdlovsk region," he noted.
