Tanaiste leads Russian trade mission

Tanaiste Mary Coughlan is due to lead a trade mission to Russia in May.

The Enterprise Ireland-led delegation will include Irish firms hoping to expand into the former Communist country. An Enterprise Ireland official said the 10-day mission will feature "a number of networking opportunities for companies in the Russian market to allow them to deepen their trade and commercial ties."

Enterprise, Trade & Employment Minister Ms Coughlan will meet leading Russian businesspeople during the trip from May 18-30. Enterprise Ireland's office in Russia also has responsibility for developing markets in Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Belarus and Moldova. Other trade missions are being planned in coming months - to Saudi Arabia and Qatar in April and South Africa in September.
