TOKYO, February 10. /TASS/. Only unassertive people refuse to invest in the Russian economy right now, Alexey Repik, the president of Delovaya Rossiya business association who leads a delegation of Russian business executives currently visiting Tokyo said on Tuesday.

"I’m confident investments in Russia are safe and secured," he said answering reporters’ questions about changes in the Russian investment climate in the wake of Western sanctions. "All the rumors about the lack of safety are the abode of people unsure of themselves."
