The Russian business week in Riyadh, and now the Saudi Arabian business week in Moscow are landmark events contributing to effective cooperation between Russia and Saudi Arabia. The promotional tours and visits of delegations to the Russian companies organised as part of the business week are extremely important for facilitating informational exchange and fostering a relationship of trust and openness between the business communities of the two countries."
