ST. PETERSBURG, June 19. /TASS/. Foreign partners have not halted real cooperation with the Skolkovo Foundation and the innovation center of the same name, Vice President of the Skolkovo Foundation Sergey Krzhanovsky told TASS at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

"We do not have in general the situation when someone called and said that "we stop working with you." Even Skoltech [Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology - TASS] says that some official agreements [were terminated] but all the contacts are maintained at the working level. Clearly we are proactively moving at present to new areas, Asian countries. The representative office of Skolkovo in China is working long since; we are helping our companies through it to proactively find suppliers on the Chinese market, substituting the Western ones by them. We help in closing gaps with suppliers, with payments and logistics," the Vice President said.

The Foundation did not reduce its international activity since late February of this year, Krzhanovsky added.
