Personal, Cultural & Economic Ties at Ground Level: Officials on What Russian New Center in SA Offers"Our goal here is to give more information, to make new contacts and to develop trading and economic activity," Dmitry Vasiliev, head of the St. Petersburg Business and Information Center in Johannesburg, told Sputnik Africa. A key focus of the collaboration is water infrastructure—including leak detection and purification systems—linking local demands with Russian expertise, Jack Sekwaila, MMC for Environment & Infrastructure Services of Johannesburg, highlighted to Sputnik Africa."Our plans are very big.
