<h1>Leader urges voluntary trade and self-reliance, prioritises domestic goods after 25% foreign tariff on Russian oil</h1> The organisation's leader urged that international trade operate voluntarily and not under coercion, advocating self-reliance and prioritisation of indigenous products while permitting necessary imports; he argued importing goods available domestically harms local vendors. His remarks coincided with the imposition of an additional 25% tariff by a foreign administration on the country's purchases of Russian oil. The statements signal a policy preference for import substitution and sovereign decision-making in trade policy and may inform domestic responses to foreign tariff measures and related customs and trade enforcement choices.
