We have significant trade and investment updates between Russia and China, Thailand, Argentina and Mexico this week as inter-regional government and business forums have been taking place. We also deep-dive the Russia-China collaboration in the gaming sector – a massive, hundred-billion dollar, fast growth market whose own trade eco-system will have a substantial impact on future digital trade and finance. Elsewhere we examine India’s intent to ship via the Arctic, Malaysian joint-venture Special Economic Zones in the Russian Far East, a joint venture Russia-China auto R&D plant in St.Petersburg, and commentary on Russia’s Stablecoin. In addition we have updates on trade developments with Kazakhstan, and South Korea, and look at Armenia’s options between its Eurasian Economic Union membership and its attempts to draw close to the European Union. Finally we end with a heartwarming piece about Kazakhstan’s returning wild Tigers.
