"Interfax is a major information provider that has established a reputation not only in Russia, but also on the international news market. We are really expecting that the operation of an office of such a credible agency will add new momentum to the development of Siberia‘s news market and help inform the Russian and foreign public about events and projects in the Irkutsk region more comprehensively," Govorin said.
"The Irkutsk region, a territory in which major Russian investment projects are being implemented, is drawing increasing interest from our subscribers in Russia and abroad, and the establishment of an Interfax information center will help satisfy this interest," said Interfax First Deputy General Director Renat Abdullin.
"In particular, the Irkutsk region is increasingly actively cooperating with China, where the Interfax-China news agency operates. Therefore, the establishment of a major office in Irkutsk is a logical step within the Interfax Group‘s global development strategy," Abdullin said.
