The Association takes an active part in the formation of a favorable business and investment climate in Russia, facilitates the creation of modern credit and financial system, based on fair, not usurious principles, and ensures the possibility of obtaining appropriate financing under the guarantees of the Association and its members.
The document states that the parties regard each other as strategic partners in organizing and implementing joint projects, and attracting investors to the Moscow economy. The main goal of the document is the formation of a system of information, consultation and organizational interaction between the MCCI and IAIB, aimed at creating favorable conditions for foreign economic activity of organizations and individual entrepreneurs of the Moscow region.
Already, in the near future, the Association is expected to participate in events, organized by the Moscow Chamber of Commerce, with the participation of businessmen from Turkey and Tatarstan.
Mr. Platonov emphasized that moral standards are the same for all faiths. "Socially responsible business is an interconfessional concept. The MCCI always stands for the development of exactly this approach to business activity and is ready to provide assistance to all those, who adhere to high moral principles in conducting business, "- said the President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Mr. Kabaev fully supported the Head of the Moscow Chamber of Commerce and Industry and noted that companies that are members of the Association adhere to precisely these views.
