We act in a pragmatic and careful manner. We reduce spending on budget items that do not constitute a priority.

South Korea's investment in Russia has not been smooth, ... Korea had planned to carry out 126 investment projects worth 273 million, but in reality, only 91 projects worth 137 million are under way.
