Russia must improve the skills of its labor force to boost its investment climate, President Dmitry Medvedev said on Wednesday.
"No matter what is done to attract capital to Russia, it will not come to us at all if ... investment is not backed by a skilled labor force," Medvedev told a meeting after visiting a Moscow region technical school.
His economic aide Arkady Dvorkovich said last month that the investment climate in the country was very poor.
Russia suffered a $22.7 billion capital outflow in the fourth quarter of last year.
