OREANDA-NEWS Currently, Russia's main trading partners are China, Turkey, India, Belarus and Kazakhstan. This was stated by the head of the Ministry of Economic Development (Mineka) of the Russian Federation Maxim Reshetnikov, quoted by RT.

China is Russia's key partner by a wide margin from its closest pursuers, the minister said. By the end of 2024, he recalled, the bilateral trade turnover exceeded $ 240 billion. "This is 120 billion dollars for 120 billion dollars in exports and imports," Reshetnikov explained.

Turkey and India are also among Russia's top 3 key trading partners, he added. Trade with these countries is diversified. The Russian Federation imports chemical products, food, machine-building equipment and machinery from the above-mentioned countries. Russia, in turn, sends there mainly energy resources (oil, gas, petroleum products), as well as metals and wood products.
