"[The second field] is space. This has been a very underestimated sphere, but literally in the next two or three years, we will see that the situation has changed dramatically. And why is that? Because space means the deployment of low orbit space [staellite] constellations [...] This is a completely new communiaction system," Belousov continued.
"Another trend in the global economy is the climate challenge and the energy transition. [The latter] is an attempt, a significant attempt, to establish the requirements of a green economy as a factor of competitiveness: to ban or significantly limit trade in products that are dirty from the point of view of energy transition, such as coal, oil, metals, fertilizers, chemical products, in order to consolidate their competitive advantages," he said.
