Gateway to a Multipolar World. The Far East in the New Architecture of International Relations
We will improve the regimes and principles of relations with friendly countries [...] We want the modes of interaction to be as friendly as possible. We want the mechanisms for recognizing technologies, diplomas, and certificates to work to the fullest extent, so that we have the most objective court and so that the projects that will exist in the new international advanced special economic zones operate not only within the framework of national legislation, but also within the framework of intergovernmental relations and satisfy investors from both countries

Gateway to a Multipolar World. The Far East in the New Architecture of International Relations
We are talking about the need to accelerate the development of the Eastern railway domain. We’re not doing a great job of it today. To date, we have not transported 78 million tonnes, which is about [RUB] 1.5 trillion in lost gross national product. This figure will increase if we don’t start intensifying work

Gateway to a Multipolar World. The Far East in the New Architecture of International Relations
Russia’s pivot to the Far East didn’t just happen now, but back in 2014, when Russian President Vladimir Putin declared the development of the Far East a national priority. Over this time, almost 3,000 projects have been launched, almost RUB 3 trillion have come from private investments, and agreements worth RUB 6.7 trillion have been signed. In terms of growth rates in investments in fixed capital, we exceed the average Russian rates by almost four times. It’s the same in terms of growth rates in industrial production and the commissioning of housing. The Far East is rapidly developing. Its development is a response to the challenges facing humanity because the Far East is a point where worlds intersect

Great Challenges and Opportunities for the Far East and Arctic
We will pay great attention to creating comfortable living conditions for people. I named the figure at 81,000 jobs. But these are not just jobs, because after working in a factory, a person must have somewhere to live and have the opportunity and conditions to educate their children, receive medical care, and rest. All this must be created

Great Challenges and Opportunities for the Far East and Arctic
Trade relations are changing. We are facing a number of restrictions related to the export of agricultural products, fish. On the one hand, this has been a challenge and has even affected the rate of economic growth in 2020. But on the other hand, it has helped us find new ways to market in the Far East

Great Challenges and Opportunities for the Far East and Arctic
In 2013, Russian President Vladimir Putin designated the development of the Russian Far East as a national priority for the entire 21st century. ... We may well see the development of the Russian Far East as a fast-payback, high-payback project rather than simply supporting the economy of the Russian Far East

Russian–African Collaboration in the Diamond Industry
Lab-grown diamonds, despite occupying a relatively minor share of the retail market, have had a significant effect on falling prices and demand. <...> If we could join our efforts and, for example, make marking of artificial stones mandatory, we could split these markets and protect businesses

The Asian Mirror: The Pivot East through the Eyes of Asian Partners
If you look at the general trend, 80% of all investment coming to the region is Russian. It is neither good nor bad – it is natural. How can you persuade anyone to work in the Far East, if the country’s residents do not believe in it? Over the last years, we have seen fundamental change: we have absolutely new economic regimes, the investment environment has changed. But we are facing an objective to enter the media space to tell about what is happening in the Far East. But we are not too successful so far

The Asian Mirror: The Pivot East through the Eyes of Asian Partners
When improving conditions for attracting investment, we must tackle social issues. At first, we did not pay much attention to it, as we counted on Russia having ministries of health, education, culture, sport, etc. – it is their area of responsibility. But fast growth requires support in all departments

The Asian Mirror: The Pivot East through the Eyes of Asian Partners
They have been persuading us that we need to be friends with everybody, work with everybody and trade with everybody. We have taken into this paradigm, but it seems like our western partners do not believe in it anymore.  We need to understand that cooperation faces constraints both in the West and in the East. Of course, we need to strive to make them go away and we are doing it, but the Far East has robust resources that will keep it going

The Asian Mirror: The Pivot East through the Eyes of Asian Partners
Our five-year work resulted in over 240 operations up and running and over 600 billion roubles of private investment attracted. I must say that our multiplier exceeds 10, which means we attract 10 roubles of private investment per one rouble from the budget. We have created 39 thousand jobs. Over the last years, our growth rate is almost twice as high as average in Russia. In 2014–2018, 33% of the country’s direct foreign investment was in the Far East. We started with 2%, and now we are at 33%. It is a growth of 16%
