Putin Calculates Global Impact of Russia’s Business
Russia’s companies globally invested roughly $140bn in 2006, President Vladimir Putin said at the joint sitting of G8 and J8, Interfax reported.
The president, however, didn’t clarify what particular investments he meant. “These are the notable figures already,” Putin said. For comparison, the cost of Russia’s gas monopoly, Gazprom, exceeds $140bn.
When acting worldwide, the companies should be socially responsible, directing the efforts to tackling definite problems. Then, the accidents such as abduction of RUSAL employees in Nigeria will become less frequent.
Russia’s companies set to shaping plans of specific work, the president emphasized.
Six employees of RUSAL were abducted in Nigeria on June 3. The only things known so far are that they are alive and kept at some island in the Niger delta.
The G8 summit opened in German Heiligendamm June 7.
