VLADIVOSTOK, September 6. /TASS/. Minister of Industry and Trade of Russia Denis Manturov held talks with the South Korean Minister for Trade Kim Hyun-chong within the framework of the Eastern Economic Forum. At the talks, the Russian side proposed to continue supplying helicopters to the country, the Russian minister told reporters after the meeting.
