"We are now re-launching our ‘birdie’ that symbolizes the ‘Made in Russia’ program, and we invite everyone present to take part in a survey on this project. We find it very important to have women's perspective on what criteria products Made in Russia and the ‘birdie’ we will promote as a symbol of Russian products should have", the head of the REC said.

"We ask that businesswomen have their say as well, and we promise to consider these views in shaping the final concept of 'Made in Russia'", she added at the session on ‘Women's International Cooperation: Potential and Prospects'.
