ㅇBetween January and April this year, trade
between Korea and Russia was $6.66 billion (approximately 8 trillion KRW),
down by 11% compared to the same period last year.
ㅇIn April, when paid holidays were in full
swing in Russia, the volume of trade decreased by 32.6% compared to April last
year, recording the lowest level of $1.17 billion (approximately 1.4 trillion
KRW).
ㅇ The Korean Ambassador to Russia Seok-Bae Lee

the two countries, such as automotive and crude oil, were greatly affected by
the economy and the international market”.
