We do not see anything here that could somehow interfere with us," Putin said.

Russia's Far East is Strategic Priority for The Entire 21st Century - Putin

Russian President Vladimir Putin said that investment dynamics in the Far East is three times faster than the all-Russian figure. He added that the percentage of subsoil exploration in the Far East averages only 35%, and there is every opportunity for multiple growth for the extractive industries.

Putin instructed the Cabinet of Ministers to include the exploration of subsoil resources in the Far East and Siberia in the geological exploration program. It is necessary to constantly improve business conditions in the Far East, which are accessible to both small and large businesses, he added.

Vladimir Putin said that the Cabinet of Ministers should prepare a program for the long-term development of energy capacities in the Far Eastern Federal District. Most of the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District still have a shortage of energy capacities, and this is a problem that requires a large-scale modernization of this sector, Putin stressed.

Putin added that high-speed highways will run through Siberia and the Far East to the Pacific Ocean and instructed to prepare by March 1 a comprehensive action plan for the development of the aviation complex in the Far Eastern Federal District.
