business." "It will be useful for me to learn how big business proposes to
implement the crisis overcoming strategy," Medvedev explained. Fridman
promised to provide "all the prognosis scenarios."

of entrepreneurship today and also in the future is one of the main
priorities of the Russian economic policy." Medvedev promised that the

administrative system, to pursue a balanced tax policy and ease access to
credit resources."

the economy and its diversification, creation of high technology
production facilities and cost effective agriculture," because the work of
entrepreneurs "promotes the creation of jobs, raises competitiveness of
the national products."

situation should be not only traditional, but moral as well." "Our
business has been developing very quickly and because of this has also

in Moscow on Wednesday issues of the bilateral economic cooperation and

India and China (RIC).
The Russian Foreign Ministry's press and information department told
Itar-Tass that the "Indian minister is in the Russian capital to attend a
meeting of the intergovernmental commission for the bilateral
trade-economic cooperation." Vice Prime Minister Sergei Sobyanin will
co-chair the meeting on behalf of Russia.
The intergovernmental cooperation commission will focus on the issue
of reissue of visas for working in India Russian specialists who fond
themselves in a difficult situation due to changes introduced by the
Indian side. They are applied to all foreigners that are currently staying
in India with business visas and envisage their replacement with visas of
another category - "for hired workers." In accordance with this rule, all
persons with business visas were told to go before October 31 to their
home country for getting in the Indian embassies of their countries of new
entry permits to the country.
According to official sources the joint commission meeting, which also
has a defence component, would conclude the deliberations that had started
with the visit of defence minister AK Antony to the country recently.
Describing the relations between India and Russia as "time-tested," which
needed to be further, strengthened and consolidated, official sources said
the inter-governmental commission will discuss the progress in the
implementation of decisions taken at the previous meetings and at the
joint working groups (JWG). In Moscow, Krishna will call on President

economic crisis when the existing for the past 33 years financial Group of
Seven or G7 is experiencing the greatest decline. Another structure named
E7 is coming to replace it. It includes Brazil, Russia, India, China,
Turkey, Indonesia and Mexico.
"Quickly developing countries that have more modern models of economic
development have largely managed to seize the initiative in the forward
movement," believe specialists. "It is to the new markets that the
expanding flow of investments has now started to come, the internal
consumer market in these countries is also rapidly growing." "Thus the E7
is turning into a new and powerful force that will largely determine the
ways of further development of the world economy," in the view of
financial analysts.
