Exhibits such as RAE 2015 deny statements of Russia's isolation - Russian Foreign Ministry

NIZHNY TAGIL. Sept 9 (Interfax) - The many foreign participants of the international arms exhibit RAE 2015, which opened in Nizhny Tagil on Wednesday, is a sign, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told reporters.

"It's a good sign, [an] important [sign], despite the attempts made by some circles, specifically the U.S., to position Russia as a country that is allegedly in isolation. Such forums fully deny such statements," Ryabkov said.

He said samples of Russian defense industry products drew a lot of attention and the result of the work of management and specialists working in this sphere, who made a considerable breakthrough in the past few years, is now visible.
