fact, the second day of the forum. we will tell you what he remembers, right now in sufficient detail. yes, we are here today, and at the stand of the russia 24 tv channel there were a lot of interviews, a lot of guests, respectively a lot of news. we will share everything with you now. so the program and geography in the program for today are 88 events. including four in the format of a business dialogue with foreign partners, representatives of the eurasian economic union met with the association of southeast states. in asia , in turn, the russian country held talks with delegations from china , the united arab emirates and latin america. and, of course, in addition to business participants and guests of the forum, a rich cultural program awaits. they will also tell. it includes more than fifty events, and guests of the forums and citizens will also be able to visit them. let

's talk a little more about the numbers, because in one way or another they constitute the statistics of the current st. petersburg international economic forum. so this year about 1700 people of the delegation came from 130 countries of the world to confirm their participation. this includes heads of state , heads of government, for example, algeria, armenia , south ossetia. another invitation was accepted by the prime minister of cuba. brazilian leader besides in addition, delegations are present from the united arab emirates and syria, turkmenistan , of course, the people's republic of the congo, and many other countries. we already said today. well, such, uh, officially the second, but actively the first day, but there will be four busy days in total. now let's talk about the business program as a whole. it includes 140 different events. during these four days. more than 1,000 speakers and moderators from foreign countries are expected to attend, the program as a whole is divided into

five thematic blocks. this is an example of the world economy in an era of global change. all of this block is devoted to global changes. in energy. logistics. in the field of high technologies, of course, transport around the world, not only in our country, a separate block is dedicated to the growth drivers of our russian economy. they also separately discuss the development of digital technologies in various areas and the labor market in our country. and one more block concerns improving the quality of life of russians. demographics education, of course, culture planned several dozen events on these topics, in fact. now , attentive viewers of our tv channel have probably noticed that these topics are very intertwined with what was discussed last year exactly a year ago. ah, but let's talk about it now. what exactly is the difference between this form and the previous one, namely, that there is already a practical implementation of everything that

was planned last year. dozens of agreements have been signed as part of the business program. for example, the delegation of the kuban government concluded an agreement on amounting to more than 75 billion rubles, the tver region, by the way, was also actively signing contracts today. here in particular. we are also on the air, uh soyuzmultfilm uh, the head of the soyuzmu told that an amusement park soyuzmultfilm with investments of 25 billion rubles is being built in the tver region. and the presentation, and the possibilities of the chelyabinsk region, was confirmed, and the head of the e-e of this region , aleksey texellers of the company fest code , agreed on the development of a transport and logistics complex. and, of course, investments in tourism the industry without it is now nothing. is it possible after that to talk about some kind of isolation of our country in the economic investment sense, well, hardly again let's talk about the contracts that the governor of the tula region signed today at the st. petersburg forum and the chairman of the board of directors of gazprom lng

technology signed an agreement on the construction complex for the production and shipment of liquefied natural gas, the investor plans to invest more than three billion rubles in the project and create up to 25 new jobs head of the pskov region signed an agreement on the development of plywood production in the village. here the planned volume of investments is 1 billion 200 million rubles. even in the regions, the crimean authorities signed an agreement and memorandums for a total amount of 209 billion rubles. and here the most ambitious projects are the creation of a tourist cluster in the leninsky district, and the volume of investments in this project is 110 billion rubles. one of the biggest investments, and in the samara region , the company is ready to make the transport of the future. it is engaged in the production of drones and in general, drones, and this year they will open in togliatti. uh, a cluster, an unmanned

aviation project includes the production of russian components for these same drones for drones, and here the volume of investments is about 20 billion rubles. there are billions of rubles for investments, contracts have been signed. of course. the main thing is what is happening here and on the fields and in the pavilions of the st. petersburg international economic forum at the expoforum. well, not only for this , numerous guests come here, including from abroad, because it the cultural capital of our country and a large number of cultural events take place here, more than 50 different events. for example, i look at the schedule today at the mikhailovsky theater of the forum participants. uh, there is a gala concert with the participation of leading soloists, we do not have time for guest stars on tv. let's see the final day of the forum, an exemplary performance of mozart's opera the abduction and the sirala at the mariinsky theatre. well

, in general, the 2023 forum takes place in the year 320 in general in the northern capital and the baltic fleet. in particular. here in honor of this will be held traditional sail festival crane states in the museum on the historical park, island of forts well, let's do it. now let's get back to the business program, as journalists say, the invoices of this forum are, of course, investment agreement contracts. and now let's give the floor to our colleague anastasia efimova, she followed everything. and in particular , i closely followed the presidential agenda, and today, vladim. putin in the kremlin held talks with algerian president abdel majid tibun, and tomorrow vladimir putin, will come here to st. petersburg. hmm, and both leaders will take part in the plenary session of the st. petersburg fleet tomorrow. what was spoken today right now anastasia efimova our colleague will tell nastya greetings what are the brightest statements made today? hello indeed, today

's talks were held in the kremlin, in other words in moscow well, of course, everything that happens here on the sidelines of the st. petersburg international economic forum is directly related to all events in global politics. separate economics and politics, let alone more in modern realities. it hardly seems possible, of course, these are processes that interpenetrate and mutually influence. so the talks that took place in the kremlin. this is one of the factors that is happening here at the st. petersburg international economic forum. especially considering that, as you just said, tomorrow vladimir putin del majit tibun will take part in the plenary session of the st. petersburg economic forum , the central event, for which many people come to the forum because it is during the plenary session that extremely important statements are made that have an impact on both the global economy and the market, if we talk about this side of the issue. as for the negotiations. e with the president of algeria held today in the kremlin, let me remind you that adel

majit tibul is in russia on a state visit. so, of course, the negotiations were very a filled with ceremonial. this is an obligatory part of the meeting in the st. george hall of the anthems of the two countries , negotiations in a narrow format, then in a wide one. and, of course, signed documents, as per the results of the talks said the russian president touched on a lot of issues. especially considering the fact that the strategic partnership that links our two states has excellent prospects and growth in trade for the first 3 months of this year at once. at 73%, this only confirms. for many years, algeria has consistently been among the leading trading partners of russia on the african continent, suffice it to say that in the first quarter of this year alone, the growth in trade turnover amounted to over 73%. of course, it is important to work together to

expand the practice of settlements between our countries in national currencies. this will make it possible to secure countertrade from the influence of third countries and negative conjuncture on world currency markets, and, of course, we attach great importance to joint work with our austrian colleagues to stabilize the situation on world energy markets, including in the custody plus format, as well as within the framework of the forum gas exporting countries, given that lie is a member of the contact group of the league of arab states on ukraine for his part, he outlined in his algerian russian counterpart a vision of the first causes of the conflict and an assessment of the current situation. naturally, interaction in russia and algeria, in the military and military-technical spheres, which have been successfully developing for decades, was also discussed. well, by the way,

the leaders did not literally limit themselves to negotiations in a narrow and wide format, having come out to the press , vladimir putin specified that he was actually standing right at the door to del majit sibun. offered his mediation services in the settlement question of the situation in ukraine and, of course, the russian side appreciates the very fact of this proposal and algeria’s readiness to mediate in this, frankly speaking, a very difficult issue, of course, highly appreciates, if we talk about the documents that were signed as a result of today’s negotiations, they cover a whole first of all, the range of topics is, of course, this declaration on strengthening the strategic partnership. in general, this is a framework document, which, in essence , symbolizes the seriousness of the intentions of both sides. and, of course, very specific areas of cooperation include working together. we want in agriculture. this is an industry that russia-algeria cooperation is already very strong. ultra especially considering that agriculture for the arab state is the most important part of the economy

, we are also talking about cooperation in the energy sector. and this is also absolutely understandable, given that algeria is a gas producing country and, in general, investments in this area. the russian experience is very necessary for the state about this, including its leader. and by the way, speaking russian companies are very large russian companies are already working in algeria, and cooperation between the two states is carried out in the field of pharmaceuticals. it goes on far. incidentally, they have been talking about the possibility of using nuclear energy for many years now, and, accordingly, russian technologies, which today, without any exaggeration, are the most advanced in the world. certainly. algeria would also like to use its state as much as possible. this area of ​​cooperation is also very promising in the statement that was made as a result of the signing by the russian president, we heard.

or about the de-dalorization of mutual settlements, the president of algeria spoke about the same in a narrow format, who opaquely hinted that in fact the west today is making very serious attempts to influence algeria so that it does not cooperate with russia. well, in general, the methods of blackmailing the western us is already well known today, however, as del majit tibun clarified , the country is not going to succumb to such provocations, since it shares the point of view of russia on very many questions. vladimir putin, the talks with president vladimir putin were held in a friendly manner, which testifies to the high degree of our relationship. we discussed a wide range of issues, both in the economy and in regional security. separately. i want to thank russia for supporting the candidacy of algeria as a non-permanent member of the un security council i also want to express my gratitude to the russian army for helping to clear some territories of algeria thanks to comrade putin for strengthening

our political partnership for his personal effort. in this case. long live cooperation between algeria and russia. and the algerian side is also talking about the possibility of joining the brix, given that egypt has already submitted an application, we can say that this part of africa, north africa , can also become today, but a very important part of the association. at the very least, cooperation in this area is underway, and this is perhaps another significant step towards the very just world order that we are talking about here at the st. petersburg international economic forum. they say all these days since the central theme of this 26th forum is sovereign development as the basis of a just world order it is quite obvious that the dialogue that took place today in the kremlin will continue tomorrow, as i already said, the russian president and the president of algeria will be participants in the plenary session, which will be held here in petersburg, which of course we , like the whole world, will follow very

carefully, as always , we will tell you about everything, and of course we will analyze it together with our guests. thank you very much anastasia yefimova spoke about the russian algerian summit talks that took place today. well, now we will talk about major infrastructure projects that have already been implemented. what are the results? yes, today the russian presidents gave the command to launch traffic on bypasses, krasnodar and aksay, these modern, more convenient high-speed highways, were launched significantly ahead of schedule and will now serve people, work for economic growth and improve the quality of life of people, improve the connectivity of cities and towns between they will significantly reduce the time for tourists who go to rest in resorts and

the kuban as a whole will significantly increase the transport industrial agricultural economic potential of the regions of southern russia. i thank everyone who participated in the creation of these important facilities for their conscientious work. i ask permission to launch. well, and so this project was implemented on behalf of the president within the framework. just the development of long-distance automobile approaches to the crimean bridge, of course, this road has many meanings. for example, she will unload such cities like rostov-on-don and krasnodar from transit freight transport, on the other

hand, will significantly improve the environmental situation in these cities. well, besides, this launch of these sections will significantly speed up the e-flow. er, the speed is the average speed of cars that drive on the m4 highway to which of course is the main highway for traffic to the south of the country, because the eve is especially important. well, in anticipation of already in the midst of the holiday season it turns out. the key event of this week is the opening of two major transport e objects are bypassing aksai and bypassing krasnodar as part of the development of the m4 highway with the president of the national vladimirovich putin, the president highly appreciated. we built these two facilities one by 18 months bypassing aksai before one by six months. we have succeeded in achieving this by achieving well-coordinated teamwork, ahead of funding and constant monitoring of these projects. in general

, i want to say that despite all the sanctions pressure, despite certain difficulties with the budget. we are going through the road industry quite confidently and we hope that the plans this year, at least fulfilled or exceeded. oh well, we recall that the construction and reconstruction of the eastern bypass of the m4 don highway around rostov-on-don and aksai began back in 2018. the total investment amounted to at least 77 billion rubles. its construction was completed one and a half years earlier than planned, more than 2,000 people were involved in the work, and they all worked daily to build 36 km of a new four-lane road. and this is the final section of the speed limit for the detour, aksay 110 km/h. which also, of course, important for high speed traffic. well, the distant

western bypass, krasnodar, was opened six months ahead of schedule , 900 people were involved in the construction, and the main artificial structure at the facility was the bridge over the don river, two lanes with each direction. today, on a significant event, the m4 don highway from moscow to krasnodar has become without one without a single traffic light. today the road to the sea stopped for one hour, in short, 36 km bypass of rostov and 52 km of krasnodar have become a reality today thanks to selfless work aksai builders were handed over a year and a half ahead of time, they were handed over half a year ahead of time. well, of course, we are very much looking forward to the fact that such plans already exist in the near future. and now it comes naturally. uh, the formation of this financial model, the implementation of this project. i'm talking about just

one more ambitious road construction project, which will be implemented in the black sea zone, where all the resort areas are located. this is the so-called south cool, which will help a lot development, in general, of this entire region and will make life much easier not only for tourists , in fact, to ensure this connectivity that is now there, well, there is a very lack of infrastructure, because, of course, they are not only pro-tourism. they are true in general, but infrastructural regimes, lightweight infrastructure regimes, and speed of movement in various areas. and where transport is involved, well, what is the meaning of a new approach, and a new route, and bypassing, krasnodar e. the governor of the region, the governor of kuban, told us about mine. kondratiev let's see what he told us hello, thank you for taking the time for our interview. first of all, of

course, i want to ask you about today's news. vladimir putin opened the far western bypass, krasnodar tell us about this project, why is it important for the regions. well, first of all, good afternoon. oh, of course, this is an important event not only for the residents of krasnodar but. there are 600 million inhabitants, the region, of course, i'm sure everyone who has a rest on the black sea coast of the krasnodar territory, the black sea coast countries, of course. uh, especially those who travel towards the father's coast and the crimea . well, because this is the road, this object is 50 km long, it creates exactly a journey, because the old road is an old route. he is directly in krasnodar from

the point of view. and now it will no longer be necessary for those who travel, it is clear already from the side of the central part of russia from the rostov region to get to us to krasnodar, to stick traffic jams, go around krasnodar and then go to the azov coast, but directly directly by and large. uh, starting from the city we have such korenovsk, which can practically be said at two o'clock, here the borders of the region with the rostov region immediately turn right and shorten the time. and, of course, and the mileage is almost to leave not far from the azov coast and to the samoaz coast. and, of course, it’s important today to go to the bridge and go to the crimea , and once again, it’s important to emphasize again for traveling around the region or so that heavy trucks do not call in

krasnodar or so that those who are tourists can also. as i said , a trip to the krasnodar territory, and not here the discomfort that they received when they once again reached krasnodar with an underline and along krasnodar they already went to some kind of highway, as we say, and there they were already driving towards the azov coast, the second component is very important. why did i say an event for us, in the first place, this is a highway, and this is a highway. it allows, uh, evenly. distribute resources, including the saturn resort complex and construction towards the azov coast. well, because, of course, they build where it is better to get there, where there is a road component, uh, upscale, and today the roads are extremely. in fact, they are very comfortable, but here the coast was, as it were, a little apart from us. and today i'm sure and saturn resort. well, the construction industry will have a different look at

the azov coast, the krasnodar territory. this is also important. well, the third component , we are talking about you, novorossiysk, tuapse, and we have four ports on the azov coast , and here it is, again, this is the third component of our success, thanks also to i emphasize hmm, we call this bypass road the bypass road, and according to the documents, this is the far western bypass of krasnodar, and it will allow, by and large, to increase cargo transportation, partly by means of these four ports, which are located on the azov coast, because this is a direct road, a direct road, but the most important thing is that already those who want to relax on the azov coast and in the crimea this summer. well, literally everything. today we opened a shortcut to the azov coast, crimea for at least 1.5 hours, then yes, they will win and the distance they

will win and time and that's all already today , uh, the president has opened. the far western bypass opened a direct route that will connect the azov coast along the big ass, the crimean bridge, e with the m4 don, where, with an underline, the road will be kafka and both high quality and comfortable. well, and fast. well, this is the most important, of course , infrastructure project for the region, but in general at the st. petersburg economic forum. ah. which projects represent the region in which discussions are involved? why did you come here? well, we came with what is important for all of us today understand today the lower ones that are on the country's market should be engaged, and we are doing everything to occupy these niches with our goods , our products, or services, or services, of course, which, as much as possible today, causes interesting investors in the resort complex. and here are our actions related to the fifty-meter zone, when we , by and large, asked

the developer correctly to give it to the atelier. today we are bearing fruit. today, the region, under construction, 39. yes, 39 hotels 4 years ago, even three hmm , it was impossible to talk about it, because all the developers had the land, and they were ready to sell it to the studio, well, for big money. but lilliers did not say the power of the economy and today it is already different, therefore, 39 m of hotels. today we are building on our black sea coast, and on today's e, here is a forum on the margins of the st. petersburg forum. we have signed only on the occasion of 10 agreements to meet in the spin-off and refurbishment of existing resorts, which once again emphasizes the most important for the development of the entire saturn resort industry and the legion of hotel industry. this is an industry economy of our region. this is the first component of our success, the second component, of course. it's a shame when you're on the job. today we are the region that already makes high-quality warfare and today investors are ready

to invest in vineyard land. and, of course, viticulture. and, of course, winemaking is our second feature at the st. petersburg forum, where we sign an agreement with investors, and investments and viticulture. well, of course, wine is a matter of fact, and today it is important for us that we need grapes suitable earth. and we still have stock. uh, about 50,000 hectares. it's not that much. it was actually under vineyards, but the most important thing is not under construction, and today investors who want to invest once again emphasize this area in this area. they are the most active. i mean from above, sometimes even if the third component we are, of course, a land where there cannot be heavy industry, there cannot be what, of course, probably gives very serious dividends to the budget of any industrial region. we are saturn resort regions. we are an agricultural region, of course we must develop. here are the directions of the economy, well, which well

will not interfere with saturn's resort and i am a literate pleasure of safety. quite the men from the outside, we are from the sanatorium-resort complex of the whole country, we are with the drabnitsa by and large already, and this is 100% year-round. e health resort. and so, of course, we are going into recycling. and today we signed. uh, an agreement, then now an agreement on the processing of deep processing of agricultural products. this is very important today in this case and e corn. and what starch can be made from it and very modern the high-tech complex in the region will be very modern, where the volume of investments is about 6 billion rubles. and uh, the production of citric acid. i don't want to reveal maybe secrets. uh, starch products. we will have a very large spectrum of potential development. and today this is what should be in the sanatorium of the resort and rainfed region. here is a deep, even at a loss, processing of the

products that we grow in our blood. and this is also the subject of investors today, namely the agrarian direction. well, speaking in general, of course, the economy, today sustainable we say industry industry, commodity component, probably, the economy of any region. and today we are talking about the results of last year. our industrial growth was 108%, and according to the results, already m-m. here there five months of this year 110.6. uh, interest is growth, and industry and industrial production. it is important for us to maintain this level. and if we talk in general in general. in our rpg region, er, 2.000 in the twenty-second year there were three trillion from 2.000. uh, in 2021 it was 3 million, and 2,000 in the second year is already 3 1/2 trillion rubles. you understand where we are now, we showed. i can wholeheartedly agree with the president's position that today is a time

of opportunity and today we are moving towards economic sovereignty.
