Sending specialists (experts) to foreign countries is part of economic cooperation world-wide.

Russian experts are generally sent to developing countries to give assis­tance to their customers in the construction, modernization and extension of different projects.

Their assistance, among other things, covers collection of initial data, installation of the equipment and its adjustment.

They also provide designer's supervision, guarantee maintenance of the equipment delivered and repair of equipment if necessary.¹

Along with the above services Russian experts provide training programmes for the Customer's local specialists. Training is carried out at industrial enterprises, offices and research institutes.

Now, based on the letters and dialogues below we can get an idea of the terms and conditions on which we send our specialists to different countries to give technical assistance and receive the Customer's specialists for train­ing.
