exit on the route north, south so uh last week. fresh mango from pakistan reached moscow in 4 days. this is a record. and i also lived in africa at one time. i really love fresh mango. here. uh, so i was pleased to know that with the help of existing transport opportunities, because manga can also be driven from africa, but much longer, but here it’s practically nearby. here's one more thing that i'll tell you, and many people think that we have become very serious about projects at the level of presidents. only after the start of the special military operations. this is wrong. it's not true for the first time to think. we started about it i remember it well in the ninety-ninth year, when we see alya

exists. the second historical moment , which strongly influenced how the impetus for the creation of this corridor, happened a few years ago, when the world's largest container ship evagin ran aground in the suez canal. i even remember the name , he was aground for 5 days. naturally, the movement along the soviet canal, built during the time of tsar gorokha vot at the beginning of the 19th century. well in general a long time ago. then there were other ships, another depth, and so on and so forth, so this tanker ran aground and for 5 days the movement was paralyzed by world trade by world

trade. i want to name the amount of loss from this. in fact, i can't even count. i can only give you one number at one hour one hour when the channel was closed, world trade was losing $400 million in one hour, multiply by 24 and then by 5 days and you get a giant figure, so this also served as an impetus, what if what something like this will happen regularly, then this including russia will be hit hard through the bosphorus and through the soviet canal simple wiping things. how short is the path? this is, of course , all the transport companies have calculated, and that i was pleased yesterday. on this, on the panel dedicated to the transport corridor, series-south. it is that very respectable

representatives of foreign delegations were present. the minister of transport of iran is the head of the world's largest. logistics company diploma from the united arab emirates he was also natural he said that the largest world business is extremely interested in the beginning of the functioning of this corridor. so i 'm very optimistic about it. this is a challenge , including for russia, but here it is necessary. i don't want to paint everything pink. we have already counted about forty objective restrictions that exist, and maybe between different phytosanitary ones. whatever. they can be re-40 for a long time already counted, which are necessary at the international level for the participation of projects. as they say, and come to a common denominator to common standards, so that the cargo

walked seamlessly, that's what they call it. and so that any shipper knows where his container is at the moment, and i remember this well, when i was in the far east 15-10 years ago and then the transit of containers through the territory of russia , including from china from south korea to europe, the shortest way railway of course russia again we are a great transit country, by the way, and so the shippers then complained that the container had come to the port. and they no longer know his fate, where he is, then maybe in 2-3 weeks it pops up on the russian finnish border. but all this time where he is and what, he is standing in the crap or moving is unknown at

the moment. no real investigation will ever forget about it, there will be no attempt to divert attention to find a scapegoat, supposedly. these are ukrainians or poles, ostensibly, so as not to substitute themselves, this is understandable. this is good for me, the professional past of activity is understandable, but there has never been a real investigation. it means

admitting to open terrorism. who is on will it go? no, you understand? i go back a second north south. i am grateful to the collective west for the sanctions, because these sanctions and the sharp reduction in russia's trade with countries, let's say the european union , even more encouraged and made us understand ourselves that we urgently need to develop both the north, the south and the northern route, the northern route and the eastern the bottling site is all directed either to the south or to the east of russia, and this will take a very long time, and the team will become more active in these directions along the northern sea route. we

we know that there is an ambitious plan to start year-round traffic already from 24 years old and bring freight traffic to 80 million. and if you return to your topic of ecology, do you need to communicate? with such volumes, such prospects, maybe somehow the environmental requirements should be revised or not? i already spoke about this once in an interview with russia 24, i remember it well. the northern sea route , in fact, is an international corridor, where our waterways are. of course, we must fully regulate, because this is our waterway and our laws fully apply to tervods. but if this is an economy zone, that is , a little further north, international rules should already be in force there and the law cannot, for example, simply prohibit foreigners from any country from using their

ships. we cannot do this with warships, we will dictate. but what about civil courts? with the main cargo carriers, basically , i mean, china, by the way, which is extremely interested in transporting its goods from china , again, in the shortest way and the most effective way to determine such norms environmental safety, such as ships that go all the way. well, for example, that we will not allow for environmental

reasons. and they are ships not reinforced with ice classes, and we won’t let them in with one, because after all, ice is especially risky. uh, and , of course, we must monitor the state of wildlife in the climate in the arctic. you know, we are now sharply increasing on purpose, and the space constellation that will monitor only the arctic and nothing more is a special wallet , this is done deliberately in order to we didn't just control my weather and climate and that's it. everything determines what is happening now global warming. it's not a secret. i'm not sure that it will always be and scientists say that throughout the existence of the planet. the earth has been cooling and warming and the climate has changed in both directions, but now the warming is obvious and in the arctic it is especially

noticeable, because the ice is melting quickly. and our leading company, sovcomflot, already last year, the sevmor route along the entire route in january passed in january. but they were single very serious company , they have an excellent ice class here, and transporting uh energy resources liquefied gas oil of course , you need to be very careful and thorough, because the spill of oil products in the arctic, god forbid, is much worse. than even there in the tropic zone is much worse. and by the way, if something happens, russia will have to clean it up. so we must be ready.

polar bears, we are well guarded rosneft is closely following. i am grateful for this . there are seals, deer, seals, everything is fine, as the agenda on the forum yes, business and transport, even tourism in the arctic zone, and how, taking into account environmental features , taking into account a careful a-a attitude, the need for a careful attitude. you see a tourist destination in the arctic there is, i can directly say our nuclear-powered icebreaker in the summer season

in july to august. in september, tourists, including foreign ones, are transported to the north pole, an expensive pleasure, but it should be expensive $ 25,000 per place , and it should be, because these are huge operating costs, of course, and should be. and maybe we will increase it if rusatom decides that it is possible to increase demand. all the same, there will be people, but in the world. ready-made bottles of 50,000 dollars to pay for one tour, why not? we must use our geographical advantages in every possible way, including what you said about m-m practice and about ecology in general, i may not be very correct, but i can joke. i have this forum st. petersburg cordial st.

petersburg works forward goes. yes fine. let me welcome you to petersburg we met at the previous forum and then, uh, in october, i think you also had a very good, detailed conversation here in st. petersburg. uh, i am very glad to welcome you this time at the st. petersburg international economic forum. now visited your pavilion, a wonderful pavilion, which speaks of the prospects for the development of relations between our countries in the economic sphere hmm and the possibility of the emirates in this direction. i know

what the economy or the social sphere is. under your management is developing very actively, and in this sense, for us, of course, a very good and comfortable partner, and relations between russia and the emirates are developing very successfully now i will not talk about specific numbers, they are impressive. eh, but the main thing is that they benefit both russia and e exchanges of thieves gladly at night, thanks to your support, of course. as for our interaction in other areas, then, of course, we will use everything. and today's meeting in order to discuss the situation in region, uh, but uh, at the beginning of our conversation, i would like to thank you for your efforts to resolve humanitarian issues during these events.

uh in the ukrainian direction related to the events related to the exchange of detainees to the solution of a number of other humanitarian issues of this kind and this matters for uh, specific people - this is always the most important thing, thank you very much. and for that. well, during today's today's meeting. we will have the opportunity to talk in detail about everything. uh, directions welcome mr. president drove up my friend an invitation to welcome about this beautiful city between russia and

emirates. and a strong relationship, uh, thank you for that, mr. president, so that the world also benefits from our relationship, the president. uh, russian emirates and you personally because of this opportunity.

uh to speak at this forum this year is a very big role. i believe that private sector cooperation between the private sector of the two countries has a big role in the development of our bilateral relationship. for example,

tourism. uh, the bilateral is developing very strongly, which this year million russian tourists will see mr. president so , negotiations between vladimir putin and the president of the united arab emirates mohammed benzoide al-hayyan are taking place in st. petersburg, as the leaders actually announced today. first , we looked at the stand of the united arab emirates here at the site of the st. petersburg international economic forum. let me remind you that this year the emirates have the status of a forum guest country and, accordingly, in these the conditions of their booth. well, probably one of the most impressive, but after seeing the booth leaders. we actually moved on to negotiations,

the shots that we saw just talking to the heads of state. actually, as it was stated in advance, spectrum earth discussions are very wide. this, of course, is an economic interaction. in the current conditions, the growing interests of countries to each other provides opportunities for further development, relations will certainly talk about a political settlement vladimir putin thanked his colleague for the efforts which abu dhabi applies, including to the return. russian prisoners of war talks with the ukrainian side and, of course, these efforts are highly appreciated by the russian federation, of course, they will talk about humanitarian tourism development canals a lot here at the forum, representatives of the emirates said that they are waiting for russian tourists, the turbo current has increased over the past year and it is quite obvious that it has not yet reached its ceiling, in general, and as a result of these negotiations , it is possible that we heard about what we succeeded in, maybe some new

areas for cooperation especially since today the head of state , after the end of the negotiations, will speak at the plenary session of the st. that the head of state will touch on this topic , the press secretary of the russian president said a little earlier, however. what will be the final text of the speech? as usual, no i know, they are nobody, he is now at the main state and the last edits are the last editing. she is always with the president. so it is quite obvious that some final accents have yet to be set as we will find out already in the framework of the culinary session, but at this session the head of state will also be attended by more than one guest from algeria, the president of algeria , who is now in russia on a state visit, will also take part in the plenary session. so it is clear that the theme of the development of international

relationships in conditions. well, the so-called new normality in the context of the global crisis and the establishment of a more just order. it will be the same today, and one of the key topics at the plenary session. but as for the working day of the president, it promises to be long after the end of work at the site at the st. petersburg international economic forum, and the head of state will meet with valentina tereshkova on the day of the 60th anniversary of her space flights and hand her over. gagarin actually relevant documents already signed. i recall that the awards. it was established very recently. and valentina tereshkova will become the first holder of this order. well, tomorrow, by the way, this is a continuation of the conversation on the international agenda about the development of international relations and the identification of international contacts. so, tomorrow the head of state will talk to the leaders of the family of african states, and here, for sure, the agenda is very broad ukrainian settlement. by the way, speaking,

perhaps, including one of the topics, taking into account the fact that the african states have proposed its plan for a peace initiative. moscow is justified while it has not yet got acquainted with it. and it is possible that tomorrow, just like negotiations, is a certain point. these are initiatives. will also be discussed. especially taking into account the fact that the head of state is repeatedly stressed by the press secretary with the most diverse options for resolving crises. and of course, the country is always grateful. this is the topic of the state, which expresses on which they offer their assistance in becoming mediators in resolving this very acute and very difficult issue. but we continue to follow events taking place here on the site of the st. petersburg international economic forum and right now we have a broadcast of the vtb bank session and the system was working. i will not name the countries, and after the well-known events, but strangely, some refused to use

it, and our integrations, explaining precisely by political motives and fears of secondary sanctions, and so on, and from my point of view , we, of course, need to move in parallel, and two directions. first. we really need political organizational agreements to be negotiated by friendly countries to specific integrations and technically to do them, and several countries that are friendly to us. and they are no longer what they even agreed to integrate. i have to say that we have done this integration, but when we ask them a question guys, when will you turn on the green button? well, i mean, we are technically ready. we've tested everything. they say we're waiting for political guidance. and this political indication can give. naturally, only the first person of the state in this regard. i know that both the government and the central bank, of course, and colleagues from business, when we travel, we talk with foreign partners. we always put it on the agenda, because, technically, we

already really understand so well, even if the protocols are different, we integrate different protocols. it's not a question. yes, yes, that is, we can do it. yes, but we really need that side to say, yes, we are launching and starting to work. and from the good news, i’ll probably say that despite the difficulties. uh, well, the weird part, is moving quite boldly, and we are working. and pspfs, we are also working on a fast payment system, for example, 14 banks from three countries, and now they have already launched work with us on svp - this is when our citizens can transfer money to these three countries and soon, but it will e use the reverse mechanism, but for business, first of all, this system of calculations is important, of course. and here we support absolutely all platforms and all solutions that can be, namely, not only as platform integration platform. yes, but if

for example, some strange people are ready to offer us a solution through breach and we will also be technically ready to do this, but from the point of view of the digital ruble. in general, i think colleagues that there are 5 years on the horizon. we will witness how the international payment infrastructure is moving from swift a to the integration of national digital currencies. ah, absolutely, on the horizon of 5 years there will already be real integration between large countries, and we are running very fast here. and we really already industrialized on the platform created in may. that is, we are going all according to plan. we are waiting for the law in anatolia, otherwise, i think, we will ensure its adoption, we will definitely ask. we will ask anatoly gennadievich. that is, as soon as it is adopted, the law and we will really start their operations, and work with the digital ruble in parallel. we are now discussing with several countries those that also make

their own national digital currencies. how can we build this integration in this case, indeed, the drain does not involve a completely new, but direct relationship and, of course, this is completely change the tension infrastructure in the world is just a few more words about digital technologies. you have already said, uh, part of it is clear that the digital ruble is probably the main technology, but nevertheless, to ensure upward movement. e this question. there are many more issues to be resolved. that's how the central bank in this direction. i know that you are doing a lot in this direction a few word literally. well, we really, but as if we took it and continue to hold it, and probably among other regulators one of the first places in terms of the implementation of digital projects. moreover, we make digital projects not only those that are directly related to the financial sector, but also those that are indirectly related to it, such as, for example, a single biometric system. a and. i have to say that there is. and here there are also

pluses and minuses, and i will now voice them. i also , like andrey leonidovich, really don’t like it when we either say how everything is cool with us. or we say how bad things are for us. that's actually true. always in the middle, and in our case it looks like this. we are doing very well in terms of russian software or russian applications, and those sitting in the hall know that ah. most banks have a central bank. i must say that 100% of all applications are russian development, and not foreign , most banks also have russian development. those who have some foreign applications are switching to russian development, but what we don’t have and where did we wait for the rooster to peck us, we don’t have a common system software or we don’t have hardware, namely hardware. well then there is, it is, of course, some such let's say not very high quality. yes, but we don't have time. these are there 50 years for buildup

and reflection. and when will we do it, in my estimation. we have to do this within 2-3 years, and this is the topic of achievement and upward movement, unfortunately, because. the fourteenth year we did this, in my opinion, badly together. i mean at the country level, yes, this issue will now have to be resolved together, because of course, ah, we do not plan to isolate ourselves from the world. those foreign decisions or foreign equipment that we can use yes, foreign partners are willing to represent absolutely everything will be used. yes, of course, weighing the risks, but the fact that in this part we must build up the muscles to have our own, and production, but at least 1 2, 3. and since, for example, at one time, china did with huawei yes, and this i am absolutely sure that we could build the russian analogue of huawei and we can build it now, we just have to do it in a shorter time. yes, if we, for example, seriously began to go in

the fourteenth year in the same way as with the topic of chips. this is also not newton's binomial. yes, these are frames. yes, this is innovation. well, listen, we did not solve such problems. we have made a digital ruble. in fact exclusively resourced it, e central bank as well. for example, i can say that there were more than a thousand chinese people who were engaged in this, and we have about 300, so this is a question yes, of course, russia as always, it can and should, but here the question is a priority for me too. and here is the question of technology now sovereignty on key issues, and it is extremely important, and we will need to solve it. olga nikolaevna thank you very much. i think that now is the time when our programmers , one to three, are fighting like this on the information front, and this is the time when russia is going to harness. here, as she wrote here recently, they harnessed for a long time, we must already

go. yes, andreevich would have recently written a and e unconditionally. eh, definitely. this topic concerns the banking sector. he is not needed by himself; everyone needs him in order to develop e economy industry. and what does the bank need to do to achieve this? uh, probably, pyotr frankov certainly knows the chairman of pavel promsvyazbank pyotr mikhailovich, so your bank is engaged in just such a specific direction. well, all banks are engaged in this new specialize. what do you think needs to be done to make the banking sector work more efficiently, huh? with the real sector and in general, i was going in this direction of sovereignty. thanks a lot. thank you, first of all, for the opportunity. perform today, right? yes, excuse me, pyotr mikhailovich pyotr mikhailovich should, uh , a little earlier, the importance of the meeting. and it can't be cancelled. thanks a lot. i probably

also react to the name of the session.
