“As part of the Agreement, the Center“ Warrior ”will take up the development of teaching methods, and most importantly, for the training of teachers who will conduct elementary military training in all schools of Russia.And in general, in this way we will make our country stronger, ”the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.

The most important results of the Eastern Economic Forum, according to Yuri Trutnev, are decisions of Russian President Vladimir Putin, which are made on the fields of the WEF, including after a meeting with moderators.This year, the moderators summed up the results of key sessions for the development and promotion of tourism, the implementation of master plans, reduce administrative pressure, increase the transport abilities of the Far Eastern Federal District’s Logistics System and increase the efficiency of container logistics, determine the mechanisms of accessible financing of priority infrastructure and investment projects, and the development of science and technologies.

He recalled that the president called a number of decisions at a plenary meeting, especially important for the leading socio-economic development of the Far East.Among them - consolidation until 2030 at the level of 2% of the rate on preferential mortgage loans issued to residents of the regions of the Far East and the Arctic;assignment to the Government of Russia and the State Duma to accelerate work on the bill on the creation of international territories of advanced development;The use of the “Far Eastern concession” tools to create an innovative scientific and technological center on the island of Russian and determine the parameters and the scale of transactions in the framework of private public partnership with VEB.rf.Another important solution is associated with the allocation from the approved limit from 2025 to 2030 100 billion rubles for the implementation of projects of master planes of the Far Eastern and Arctic cities.

Separately, Yuri Trutnev noted the significance of the order of the head of state to accelerate the development of the energy supply program of the Far East until 2030.

Speaking about the importance of the forum, the Governor of the Primorsky Territory Oleg Kozhemyako noted the attractiveness of the region for business, including foreign investors.

“The Far East shows the growth of investments and, in general, the growth of the gross regional product in subjects is much higher than the average of the Russian Federation.Therefore, of course, taking into account the proximity to the countries of the Asia-Pacific region, the role of the Primorsky Territory is of great importance.It is of great importance for us that the president designated the construction of the international territory of advanced development here.Now we will begin this work with the Ministry of Economics, with other authorized institutions.Each forum is new steps of development, each forum is an impulse that gives a very tune for many years, ”he said.

The forum’s fields approved the new goals of the Ministry of Health of Russia, the Corporation for the Development of the Far East and the Arctic to attract investments taking into account the current and preparation of new investment projects for 1.5 trillion rubles to 20.5 trillion rubles to 12 trillion.The previously made decisions have already allowed to form a unique system of attracting investors in the Far East.For several years in a row, the growth rate has been exceeding the average Russian values.Thanks to this, more than 2,800 investment projects worth 9 trillion rubles have already been attracted to the Far East, in fact investorsENO 4.2 trillion rubles.

“We change the methodology of attracting investments in the Far East.Over the past period, we have collected, as they say, low -hanging fruits.That is, what was actually already ready.In order for this to take place, 81 federal law was adopted.But, nevertheless, these were already projects for which, in principle, it is clear that investors would come.This is not enough today.To preserve the growth rates, new current solutions are needed, both financial and infrastructure, and narrowly aimed at specific industries, taking into account the characteristics of the Far East, logistics, the scale of the territory and climate.We will understand each industry, determine what are the possibilities of its development, ”said Yuri Trutnev.

Summing up preliminary results, the Deputy Prime Minister once again emphasized that the Eastern Economic Forum has become a working tool that creates opportunities for further effective work for the development of the Far East.“The forum, in my opinion, did not just take place, it turned out.This is evidenced by the number of signed agreements, and their amount, and most importantly, the number of decisions adopted by the president.Immediately after our return to Moscow, a strategic session of the government on the development of the Far East will be held, ”he summed up.

Recall, during the summary of the VEF-2024, the Governor of the Trans-Baikal Territory Alexander Osipov noted that this year the Trans-Baikal delegation adopted a concise but productive option for participation.For almost two days, 12 agreements have been signed, and the amount of investment attracted is about 300 billion rubles.
