Russia will aim for a place among the world’s top 20 countries on investment attractiveness, President Vladimir Putin said on Friday.
To that end, government has drafted a road map to improve investment climate, enlisting the help of the Russian business community, Putin said, speaking at the APEC summit in city of Vladivostok in the Russian Far East.
The road map envisages decreasing administrative barriers and improving customs operations, among other things, Putin said. He refused to provide further details.
