NIZHNY TAGIL, September 9 (RIA Novosti) - Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov says Russia could be among the key players on the world market.
"Such a task stands before us - to make our country highly competitive; And sending a message on this is not enough, we need to work on it," Fradkov said Friday at the Magistral 2005 fare in this city in the Urals.
Fradkov said Russia's huge potential was not limited to natural resources, meaning intellectual property and high-quality produce. He praised the Urals region as one of the industrial leaders of Russia's regions.
