MOSCOW, January 25. /TASS/. The course toward decarbonization must be continued despite the Russian economy shifting from European towards Asian markets, Minister of Economic Development Maxim Reshetnikov said on Wednesday.

"The global low-carbon economy trend continues. Despite the shifted focus from European to Asian markets, the course towards decarbonization needs to continue. Our key partners are already actively working on the climate agenda, placing increased demands on companies," the minister said.
