In absolutely any modern state, a foreign trade policy is constantly pursued, which not only brings huge amounts of money to the budget, but also establishes friendly relations between the territories separated from each other. This greatly contributes to the promotion of world peace. Agree, if you have to cooperate for your own good with one or another person, then you do not want to quarrel with him, to conflict.
The foreign trade policy of the state mainly consists in selling abroad those resources that are in abundance, and buying what is not enough for the normal existence of the country, as well as its population. You can sell both natural resources and modern scientific achievements. For example, many countries today sell their oil, gas, foodstuffs abroad, and acquire military and civilian equipment, fabric, computer technology, and so on there. That is, not all states can fully provide themselves in absolutely all areas of production. It is for this that there is a foreign trade policy.
It is very good when the political leaders of many countries have friendly relations with each other. In such a situation, very often they come to a very reasonable price for the goods that they are discussing. Unfortunately, there are situations when one state fully provides services for another, otherwise it cannot offer anything in return. In such cases, often small countries that have virtually no natural resources of their own are forced to accept all the conditions that they are offered.
Take, for example, the Baltic countries, whose foreign trade policy towards sales depends only on the manufacture of canned marine products. Revenues from such production cannot fully cover the costs of acquiring the same gas and oil from the Russian Federation. Such countries have difficulty finding a way out of such situations. Basically, they take loans from other states in order to pay off debt. In principle, in this situation there is a vicious circle in the form of constant debt and loans.
But it is not necessary to consider that the foreign trade policy of Russia is considered ideal. This state also has to acquire certain resources. For example, everyone knows that in this country automobile production and the manufacture of modern technical devices are not particularly developed, which Russians also have to buy from other countries. These two examples come to mind first. And if you go deeper, you can see a lot of problems. For example, coming to the market, you get citruses. And where do they come from there, because they do not grow with us? Naturally, they are bought from those states where the same oranges just grow on the streets and nobody needs them. It is quite possible to earn decent money on this natural quality of your territories. The main thing is to establish contacts and arrange transportation of this product without any problems.
Thus, we can say that the foreign trade policy of any given state works both towards huge sales and the direct purchase of various essential goods. Wealthy countries are those that earn more than they spend. This is the simplest formula for successful foreign trade. Only in this situation is not always the main role played by the talent of political leaders. Fertile territories are often very important. For example, Saudi Arabia, which no one would have known if not for nineteen percent of all the oil of our planet, which is located on the territory of this state.
