the moderator emphasized.
Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Mikhail Ivanov addressed
the participants with a welcoming speech. He emphasized the importance of the Metalloobrabotka
exhibition for the machine-tool industry and noted with satisfaction that representatives of
more than 10 foreign industry associations are taking part in the online roundtable.
The Deputy Head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia expressed confidence
that the round table and the subsequent exhibition "Metalworking-2021" will provide new
opportunities for discussing the development of machine tool industry and cooperation with
foreign countries. Elena Guseva, Head of the Department of Own Exhibitions at Expocentre,
spoke about the upcoming international
specialized exhibition of equipment, instruments
and tools for the metalworking industry
Metalloobrabotka-2021. This year's exhibition
