Economic forum, and just the head of state will get acquainted with the interactive exhibition, which is dedicated. Thats why as a result of ten years of work on the development of the far east , people on the ground will be connected to the head of state via video communication, including in the Priority Development territories, and i will remind you that these are the places where they were created. Well, lets put it this way, the conditions of maximum favorability for doing business, that is, there are tax references and administrative benefits on the possibility of obtaining a plot of land. And, of course, working with readymade infrastructure. Here in these very territories of advanced development. Even for in recent years, a number of enterprises have been opened. As a matter of fact, this is exactly what will be reported to the president today. And this, of course, is a very important part of the work of the Eastern Economic forum, which was carried out in all previous years. Well, of course, within the framework they think not only about the past, of course. As usual, they also talk about the future. And the very tools that will allow us to develop the economy, including the economy of this part of the country and this part of the world, will also be discussed within the framework of the Eastern Economic forum. If to return to the president ial program here at the forum is the first day of the head of states work at this site, then also today the president will lead a meeting dedicated to the development of far eastern cities. In this case, we will talk about vladivostok , khabarovsk, birobidzhan and blagoveshchensk, i will remind you that this is a whole series of meetings held by vladimir putin; just a little less than a week ago, a similar meeting took place. And another previous one in march was about the fact that everyone is working today, and in the far east centers, including of course, settlements should not develop chaotically in accordance with a certain master plan that was adopted for the development of these. What will allow, firstly, to plan the necessary changes that will take place in this city, and secondly , of course, this is the most important central priority, on which the head of state always insists, to make the lives of people in these cities more comfortable from various points of view , of course from a social point of view from a jobs point of view from an environmental point of view. This, by the way, is very important for many far eastern cities are an indicator due to the huge number of Industrial Enterprises that are located in these cities and that is why the development of the city is in accordance with a clearly adopted and agreed upon master plan. These are truly new prospects for development. Well, of course, the prospects should not only be social. Well, they should also be cultural, because life in the city should be comfortable, but we will talk about this on our broadcast. You are all coming days. Well, right now the broadcast of the starting sessions of this day dedicated to the development of the Global Transport northern route. Economic and geographical, and for many years connected with the main tasks of the Eastern Economic forum, in recent years , taking into account the changing geopolitical situation , the role of the northern sea route has only increased. Let me remind you that at the first stage of development of the northern sea route, the focus was on supplying remote regions of the arctic and then on developing the huge Resource Base of the arctic region. And at the current stage, the northern sea route begins to solve the problems of trunking, that is, connectivity of the western and eastern parts of the Russian Federation. How is the development of the northern sea route progressing. What challenges stand in its way, how our foreign partners now view the participation of the nsr , and how the population of the Russian Federation could participate in the development of such a largescale and important project on these other issues. We will try to answer during our session today. My name is mikhail bazhenov , a partner in the Consulting Company of trust technology, and im here. Uh, and i thank the ministry of development. E of the far east artiki and the state Corporation Rosatom for the invitation to simulate this session. Permission to introduce our participants. Sergey borisovich ivanov special representative of the president of the Russian Federation on issues of nature protection of ecology and transport gadzhi magomed gadzhibutaevich guseinov deputy minister for the development of the far east of the arctic viktor leonidovich levtukhov deputy minister of the ministry of industry and trade of the Russian Federation frank chairman of the council of participants in northern shipping sea route.

Ke, jin representative of the new shipping line of the peoples republic of china Arkady Nikolaevich korostelev president of the far Eastern Shipping Company danil vasilyevich martynov advisor to the head of the ministry for Affairs Civil defense emergency situations and liquidation of consequences of natural disasters nikolai vyacheslavovich shabalin, executive director of the center for Marine Research of Moscow State University and Igor Vladimirovich borisevich, deputy head of the federal medical biological agency of russia we have heard and observed with you that snp is a grandiose project, and, probably, our first question. I would like to finish drawing Sergei Borisovich and in your opinion. Uh. What is the role of the northern sea route for the population of the Russian Federation and how can our citizens experience the results of development . This grandiose project, the coming years in the context of the president ial instructions of august 2022 . Good afternoon again. Well, to answer your questions directly. What significance does the journey have for the country, frankly speaking, is difficult. Well, you can say, in a word, of course, its huge, but this is too much in general, and then we need to break it down into different directions. The same transport infrastructure and ecology and many, many other things, uh, consolidation of the population, and the prospects for climate change, which we cannot influence. And we can only adapt and uh, here uh, plus obviously this is the secret of the ice, which probably everyone knows happens two times faster than among the temperatures on the planet. That is, there is a process there that is much more intense and can be seen with the naked eye. And if memory serves correctly, since the year ninetysix, the ice cover of arsika has decreased three times. Well. Where next . Yes, everything is clear, its a trend. Well, i can add, if anyone is interested, that our boats have been surfacing at the north pole for a long time and effectively, and only we and no one else in the world can shoot at the north pole. Our knowhow. Well, whats here . Sovcomflot already in february in march ice class, of course, are moving through the eastern sector , of course, the task is huge, this is still work for a decade. There is a lot to be done, but you know there is a simple russian saying the eyes are afraid, the hands are afraid. Uh, the first results are already there and almost all participants in our panel are participating in this today. Here. Eh, so, i was even surprised that there were too many of them, and on the one hand , its good that such attention is paid to the northern path, but on the other hand, we have 2 minutes left Say Something and time will run out. There are many areas that, if you want, i will simply list them. This is cargo flow. It is necessary to form a cargo flow, bring it here for it, knowing the mountains and guaranteeing that the cargo flow for it will be brought here with specific deadlines, and so on. Well, there will be one new fleet. Well, dozens. I cant say for sure right now and no one knows exactly how many auxiliary ships need to be included. And to fight, god forbid, oil spills and so on and so forth, this is a colossal job. Now, the second task is the Emergency Rescue fleet, which , frankly speaking, is almost absent today in artek; all this will have to be created from scratch, of course, satellite communications. E. Means of communication. And by the way, i never tire of saying that our nature must compulsorily draw up environmental requirements for the passage of ships, because, say, foreign ships. So, theoretically, they have every right to follow the northern route. So the environmental requirements for such vessels should be nature menu and speak openly. These rules must be draconian draconian will say min nature eight sides, no less at the trial, that means eight and the whole discussion is over, and i dont have foreign partners. Sorry for the socionicism. And here it is of interest. It shouldnt , it just shouldnt, thats all. We already have a lot of laws passed on the northern delivery. Well, a lot more from the point of view of the legislative framework. By the way, i dont see any big problems here. Here in the port infrastructure, murmansk, of course, is developing like a grandiose arctic operational patrol well, probably evgeniy ivanovich will tell you in more detail, because our Leasing Company has a direct connection to this. I was once deputy prime minister. I started this work. There is a huge volume of Railway Tracks to the new port, which is on the other side of the fjord, very large, and the port is beautiful from the point of view of all the depth, and no new time is needed. Antifreeze b. Unlike the ports of even the gulf of finland and most importantly , free access to the world ocean, no danish straits, no black sea straits. They cant interfere with us here, go out and go wherever you want. If you want to go to the east coast of the usa , if you want to go to china, maybe its anywhere. I believe that in the future this will be the most important port in russia. Well, heres the climate. I have already spoken briefly about the climate. We have already created a monitoring system, or we are currently creating a monitoring system. Uh, to monitor climate change, we create these so called climate testing sites, and most of them are in the opinion of our scientists. And according to officials, they should be in the arctic zone, because of permafrost. This is theoretically a very serious problem to monitor in order to be prepared over time. Well, the latest ecology and scientific research. Of course they are needed. You know that we also created the worlds first ship, which is actually a floating platform, which is now frozen in the arctic. Uh, the soviet era is heroic, when our polar explorers were sitting on ice floes, uh, which regularly broke up and it was necessary to urgently save this expedition with a lot of money. She pounced on me. Thats it, we already have completely different modern methods studying the arctic, thats all, i ve probably already had too much time. Thank you everyone , thank you very much. Speakers will certainly develop their thoughts on the issues that have been outlined today. Thank you very much. E Vladimir Aleksandrovich and in your opinion. Uh, the role of the northern sea route for the population of the Russian Federation. What is it . I would look a little, otherwise, i would look, uh, in principle, at the artistic zone and the arctic zone without as if. We know that there are already created centers. And where there is a certain sense of high population density in in comparison with artik, this is murmansk arkhangelsk, but if we look further to the east, and the artistic zone is about 30 of the territory of our country, then there is simply no road further than the north sea route, so the implementation of any project will be connected with the northern by sea, if you translate the numbers there are different estimates, how much does artik e account for the gdp of our country today . And i will assume that the correct figures are still closer to 15 , and if we talk about this particular parameter, then every sixth ruble that is created in our country. It is being created in the arctic. And if we talk about the population, then today 2. 42. 5 Million People live in the arctic, that is, its somewhere around. 1. 6 of the entire population of our country, if you just look at these characteristics, you can clearly conclude that the productivity in artek is very high and in fact today it is our storeroom where, in a sense, an investment megaproject is being created. Now, if the citizenzhentaevich probably says a little about what is happening in the arctic now there is the Worlds Largest preferential zone for the development of any investment project and suggested that the business that operates today creates, uh, very large tax revenues, which also affect the development of the countrys economy. Therefore, we can say unequivocally that the northern sea route, which is the only road today that creates the necessary conditions for the development of the northern sea route, so that the largest investment projects in the arctic develop, which affect the development of all sectors of the economy. Well, including the social infrastructure of our country. Thank you very much , Vladimir Aleksandrovich, my next question is aimed at clarifying and telling about the tasks of the government of the Russian Federation in terms of the development of the northern sea route. E, gadzhi magomed gadzhipyevich. Please tell us about this issue. Thank you very much , mikhail well, uh, in general, ill probably continue what previous speakers said. We now see that, taking into account the current situation. Our logistics are changing chains and with an orientation towards the eastern direction in this regard , the role of the northern sea route is as a new additional transport artery. She essentially congratulates the government, and last year. A plan for the development of the northern sea route has been adopted. I believe that this was one of the most important milestones. The plan integrates itself, both commitments on the part of the state and on the part of business, uh, 155 events are included in the plan. Uh, the cost of uh, implementation of events hmm, about 1. 8 think about a trillion rubles. Here, including more than sixty twenty billions, this is direct government money, and im not even talking about projects that will be implemented within the framework of publicprivate partnerships. As part of this plan. There are basic blocks that are about to be implemented, but first of all. This is, as Vladimir Aleksandrovich said. We, uh, are focusing on the formation of a promising current promising cargo base to ensure safety in shipping, the construction of a fleet, as well as the Emergency Rescue, such necessary cargo cargo is concentrated here the entire ministry, uh, the role of rosatom, the ministry of industry and trade, and all other ministries. I just called it key, respectively. Uh, in this one, we are focusing on a cargo flow of about 80 million tons by 24. And by the thirtieth year, cargo turnover figures should reach 150 million. The task. Well, think about this, essentially. This is already becoming such, in terms of the cargo base, it is becoming todays alternative, in fact, to the Eastern Range of the railways. We, uh, are seeing an increase in cargo flow along the northern sea route, it is growing steadily. Even though our International Transit on the passive sea route has decreased slightly. In any case , growth. E cargo that is formed in the arctic zone. It grows every year. That is , last year we transported 34 million tons of cargo. Well, for comparison, in the fourteenth year. We only carried 4 million cargo. E, therefore , here, it is obvious that by completing these activities and implementing this plan. We must provide. Eh, like that. Well, lets say in todays situation, even um, this is a cosmic volume of transportation. Im talking about 150200 million tons, which predicted by 35. Thank you thank you very much, and my next question or several questions is to sergei otvitovich, and three questions, probably with such keywords as security geopolitics and yearround security. Uh , it was already noted by Sergei Borisovich how important this topic is. You have been heading the council of shipping participants for more than a year. Please tell us about the results of the activities of this council geopolitics in what context did it influence the development of the northern sea route and yearround communication. We we know about the plans, and the company notec. Eros is there to open a yearround service on the eastern part of the nsr, please tell us in more detail thank you e, of your three questions, given the limited time, i will concentrate on safety and yearround navigation. From the point of view of yearround navigation. Well, the northern sea route has always been and will remain an important element of the transport system of our country. Sergei nikolaevich came into the industry in the late seventies. There was a lot of skepticism about that yearround navigation in t
