SOUNDBITE (English) ANNA DUBROVINA, Russian entrepreneur in China
"I opened an international trading company, so I help customers all over the world, mainly from BRICS countries to produce here in China and (in) Chinese factories. So I connect them and Chinese factories to produce goods in China, and then I export them to their countries. I think Xiamen is really very good place to start business. Firstly, its location. We have a port, Xiamen Port here, and it's very easy to send our goods by ships and containers. Second, it's very well located just in the middle between Zhejiang and Guangdong.
I think the BRICS cooperation creates a lot of opportunities for the businessmen. First of all, it creates new conditions for the business by reducing the tariffs and the customer expenses, so their goods inside the BRICS cooperation can be cheaper. And second of all, we have a huge amount of population in the BRICS countries circle. So it means new market, and it's huge market, actually, and new business opportunities.  
BRICS cooperation will help our countries to grow economically and to build more strong business relationships. I think it's really important for BRICS countries to cooperate together. We can cooperate in many areas, like economically with business, manufacturing, technical development, IT engineering. There are a lot of areas where we can connect, support each other and help each other grow."
