the key phrase is personnel shortage of people in all positions at all levels of specialty, not only in quantity, but also in quality. today we published another study that specifically affects the fuel and energy sector, oil and gas , our sphere, and we assess the shortage of specialists. there are 25,000 people there at different levels, starting from drillers and ending with specialists. this is a significant figure and, of course, a huge factor that stands in the way of economic growth, both in the industry and in our country. same problems. we also see in retail trade and fairy tale farming. now the icon is developing, we understand how significant restrictions are now associated with labor there and therefore it is necessary and definitely necessary to develop such things as robotics. we are now seeing this more and more and at the same time launching new education programs. we are together now echoing and growing through labor. we are doing a large study that is devoted to the relevance of education , our secondary education, higher education , and the granularity of each educational institution. to what extent is alumni an educational institution?

demanded by the market. this view is not typical for our educational sector. we usually think about the competition of applicants for professorships. the view of the industry. and now we need to look at this through the eyes of business, through the eyes of consumers, and this will certainly allow us to remove some of the restrictions, but business needs to be more active. historically large employers. they used the brand , took the best graduates to their place and trained them , thus saving costs by not touching the large mass of trainees. now the situation has changed. we need to go into business in education. what growth points can there now be in the russian economy, what do our authorities now need to pay attention to during many sessions, and they are all just growth points. we have just finished a discussion about agribusiness, a couple of figures. russia is now only 17 18 in the world and in terms of the volume of gross exports of agricultural products it is 40 billion, if we are thinking about joining the top five. we need 200 billion dollars. this is how to feed the whole world, and this is not

only a land bank, but also new technologies consolidation, industry efforts in the development of genetics of digital technologies. the same topic applies to almost all situations. we went through last year in a survival phase. we did it, we succeeded and the more friendly economy is growing. but if you look forward, now the time has come for great cooperation between the drone industries. big program the new national project is appearing now, we just discussed with dmitry sand that drones are just for the far east. this will be a big serious decision, including parts of small aviation cargo delivery and demand from the governor. it's very pronounced here. but there's more to it than that. well, like drones, the same applies to the development of intersectoral cooperation. today we will have a session to carry the gas. chemistry, polymers, processing, deep processing of polymers. exit. in fact, the creation of new products with added value, which will help russian exports of raw materials, will actually create a serious cluster of consumer industries, but all this again depends on the combination of efforts of the business state. product consumer in the united powerful fist

vyacheslavovich thank you very much for taking the time to come to our studio, and we are returning to the discussion club session. valdai over the past year, communications with china transported 120 million tons of cargo, including through land crossings, and only in 8 months of this year. here are the numbers. i have 107 million tons in front of me here, plus 54% compared to last year , these are the rates. e increasing the volume of transportation with such figures and naturally, e we could not achieve this without the development of an integrated approach with our port workers with our contiguous and without the development of the railway infrastructure, of course, both the government

of the russian federation and the russian railways company are investing enormous efforts and resources in increasing transport capacity along the eastern range. here. uh last year oh we reached a record 158 million tons of carrying capacity. i haven't fully used it. based on the results of the twenty -fourth year, i plan to reach the figure of 180 ak by the thirtieth year in our plans, and already transport 210 million tons. ah, of course we are improving the work at the border transitions. this is our job. this is what we are obliged to do, we are switching to a 24-hour operating mode, they have already transferred the pass, they have already waved, fuck it, they have opened a new checkpoint below. eh, leninskaya where literally. eh, after six months we switched to a 24-hour work format. and, if previously we only handled ore and coal, then since uh july 28, that is, a little over a month

ago, we have already started transporting containers, of course, and we are developing corridors through mongolia , this, as well as our very important corridor, and trade russia mongolia china and here a significant increase in transportation plus uh, 24% compared to last year. this is about our transportation infrastructure. but what else do we do in our services for clients? uh, our colleagues from fezco are present. we worked with them on a digital format for, uh, document processing, which allowed us to reduce the document processing time from hours to ten by 9 times, that is, for four days, clients received more uh, faster service. and we continue this interaction. and just yesterday. uh, we were at the terminal discussing it. uh, the future

development future our plans we will continue to develop this. and uh, together with the company fesco we are now doing a new service it is still being developed, but already in very deep so-called rail this is the use of baggage cars so that they move according to the passenger train schedule and uh, our clients could do small shipments, including representatives of small businesses, but use this accelerated delivery of goods under the investment program over the past 10 years. as we have already said, we counted the investment. 700 billion rubles. in the development of our far eastern such eastern training ground. this is uh, what is this? this is 140,000 jobs . imagine 140,000 jobs.

and if you take, well, in an average family, there are four people, that’s almost 600,000 people working, and well-being is ensured. uh, the railways, next year will be half a century old, like um bam, but it was built and i can say that this figure amounts to billions of rubles, and only over the last 5 years russian railways has provided humanitarian aid, and assistance to our employees and families for uh billion 200 million rubles. this is also our contribution to the social development of the region. i absolutely agree, and we all understand that these development figures are growth figures. what they are talking about is that the region is developing, the region is in demand and we are like transport workers. um, we understand that the region needs even more

, that’s all. this is what we will have to do. here with you to those who are present here with our fellow partners. and of course. eh, separately. i want to note the role played by our ministry of transport and government in adoption. e. lightning decisions that need to be made in our changing world and we see that all this is being done for the benefit of the region and for the well-being of our economy. thank you now. i would like to turn to our chinese colleague, dear. thank you for joining our session again at the counter economic forum. well, you should fly closer than us from moscow. you’re close , uh, in the far east, there are more and more of your compatriots. uh, can we see here, and on and on the streets and among the participants, and

our forum and indeed over the past years , the potential of chinese-russian relations has been realized very effectively and is very significant for the russian economy for the chinese. but nonetheless. i would like to ask you not about chinese russian connections, as such. secrets, of course, you will tell us a lot. and i would like to ask you about how you see, uh, the interaction between china russia and china in a broader international context, because we we uh, despite our strong bilateral relations. we continue to live in a world economy. and russia, china and russia are active participants in the phenomenon called globalization, which in reality does not disappear anywhere. although there are attempts to destroy it by our

opponents. but this is what i would like to encourage you to stop. uh, also on how chinese-russian cooperation is part of our participation in the global market. well, about relationships too, please, thank you very much, dear friend. thank you timofey thank you very much for inviting me . it’s a great joy for me to be here again. i was in vladivostok for the second time yesterday for half a day or two. i spent running around the city and getting to know it, despite the changes that have happened since last year, and i see that some things have changed, i see more new houses in this city. and in particular. i see the growth of the local port and i

encourage my chinese friends to come here. they come to the forum and find new opportunities. what is evidence of the attractiveness, vev, has just been the deputy prime minister of statistical indicators, which also it is worth mentioning the attractiveness of the russian far east, last year more than three thousand investment projects in the russian far east were implemented or started and, of course, a colossal volume of investments is observed, which has already grown by another 23% in this regard. i want to sincerely confront you with these successes with the development of the russian far east over the past two years, but we

are seeing these changes, and i, as a scientist , must understand, and i see several difficulties, several problems, firstly. with growth of investments in fixed assets , the capital exhibition is mainly about investments in various infrastructures. however , this is precisely what concerns infrastructure investment. there hasn't been enough growth , more investment in infrastructure is required. secondly, the total investment volume is relatively low. this is only 30 billion us dollars in total. as we know, the far east is

a colossal region of square kilometers, if we compare 30 billion dollars. people's population i i really love this city, vladivostok. however , about 600,000 people still live in vladivostok and the dynamics have not changed over the past 15 years. well, yes, yes, sometimes the population decreased last year, it grew a little, but in general the figure of 600,000 people is quite small; i ’ve been here for about two days. i met many chinese friends. they come here in search of new opportunities. they told me that vladivostok is so

beautiful, but the infrastructure, hotels and services. that's it, it's not good enough level and i, frankly speaking, to my friends, of course, beauty values. vladivostok and i am confident in the brilliant future of the far east . we see that the role of this region will fade, but i must still say that at least 20 years have already passed. as president , putin announced the need to pivot to the east. and in the end, this is by no means a new topic for the development of the far east from the point of view. china's development of the far east must be accelerated. the far east needs investment in the infrastructure

of tourists; it needs to achieve this. how as soon as possible, the pace should be increased as quickly as possible. china this is one of the world's largest investors, with a total investment volume of more than $150 billion annually. we invest $150 billion in other countries every year and less than one percent goes to russia. 1% even less than one percent last year. i came here to the right that vladivostok could become the new hong kong of northeast asia and

it seems to me that it is necessary to listen. i am sure that russia could create a kind of special economic zone in vladivostok in order to attract more. foreign technology talent and investment, as was the case in the seventies in hong kong and with other countries, let's say in the eighties from shanghai to the nineties . so you asked me, about globalization, over the next 10 years the world will develop in parallel. yes, there will be two parallel worlds. the first is a certain western world and not the western world, russia. we

are interrupting the discussion club session for a long time. valdai we continue to work in our studio here on the eastern economic forum next to me is deputy minister of industry and trade viktor evtukhov. hello viktor leonidovich. tell us how work is going on the parliamentary bill that there should be more russian-made goods on store shelves and fewer foreign goods. the bill was introduced very successfully by deputies in april. this was sent by us for approval to various departments in order to develop a unified position of the government of the russian federation, a number of significant conceptual comments. uh, the bill was returned to the state duma and finalized. now the main provisions have been sent to us again to maintain the share of russian goods. the main point is that the share will be determined. products in various categories, well, first of all, we

are now talking about non-food products, which must be present on the shelves of russian stores , there are three main criteria. it's really russian. how is russian defined? the manufacturer, and the persons who hmm manage the company and the company itself does not belong to, uh, foreign participants, and the brand is also exclusively russian. this is how the criteria will be determined, and 30%, 50. this is the fall, this share may be different depending on how developed the production of certain goods is in our country, if we can offer it to our consumers. uh, a large assortment, uh, good quality and affordable products at affordable prices, then, of course, this percentage will be higher where we quite heavily dependent on imports. this is some kind of product, then, of course, this percentage will be less, but the main task is to help russian producers. present your products on the shelves of russian stores

and make them available to russian consumers. now we will still have a large one for large retail chains or for all small regional small stores. this will be a responsibility for everyone, but we, of course, expect that large retail chains will take the most active part in this, which today actually dictate promotion policies. uh, most of the brands that are represented in our country, both domestic and foreign , have gone through a number of brands that left russia and began to return. for example, the duracell company, like the ministry of industry of turkey, generally treats such returns. and can you name any other brands that may also announce this in the near future ? we treat such returns absolutely normally. if, uh, large international companies have reconsidered their positions on relation to the russian market to the russian consumer. and we are ready to return and now

invest here and produce our products, there are no obstacles here. no, moreover, many companies that have made and are making decisions to sell their assets. they insist on buying or agreed to sign the contract. uh, such conditions as that there are opportunities after some time to return to dig up your shares and back or the brand and the only thing that hmm is the government commission, which makes such decisions and gives approval for such transactions, and agrees on the return period. no more than 2 years, that is, if you leave , as they say, when leaving, leave for some short period you were left in order to come to your senses and make a different decision , taking into account the fact that, firstly, for many manufacturers of foreign affairs in russia , the russian market is a large metal-intensive . many have made serious investments from

the russian market. so it turns out that there is still a mandatory contribution to the budget, but either the buyer or the seller must pay from the budget. depending on how they agree among themselves, but i’ll say it again, yes, upon exit , at least 50% of the market value of assets is lost. you can name some brands that can now announce such a step. well, uh, who are the negotiations with? i wouldn’t voice this on air now, because for many international companies, this is a partial question. and many, by the way, would like to return. many do not want to leave and do not leave, despite the very severe pressure that they are subjected to in their countries, like

from the political leadership and from counterparties. well, i can say that there are quite a lot of agreements. the sale of assets includes the possibility of subsequent repurchase and return to the russian market. it’s just that the russian market is very, very preferential for many. the situation is with ear replacement. of the leading companies de catlon, a good deal for the decathlon company was formalized, it was approved by a government commission several months ago, and it has already been paid. contribution is a mandatory contribution to the budget. and i think, that by the end of this year stores will open, and many brands have left niches for russian manufacturers, and i must say that our russian hmm company is now very actively presenting its products on the retail market. and this can be seen even in the mm production volume. if we take clothes, then

we are tall. e year, almost six percent for leather products, almost 12, but this is an indicator that our producers are not only not missing out. uh, not only are their positions not being reduced, their production, despite the fact that logistics there has changed a lot, and if you lose certain cooperation connections, they come to look for new supplier partners. and raw materials and components where we are import-dependent. everyone has coped with this task and is actively implementing, including thanks to the world, and government support , their projects and presenting their products to consumers. well, in place of those uh, well, by type of goods for which uh we somewhere else cannot satisfy the request of the discerning russian consumer. we have uh in place gone uh, brands from unfriendly states came uh, manufacturing partners from those countries that we have excellent

trade relations and trade economic political companies uneslo, does it really not have any left in stores in russia , what is their status as a company, is it true to sell, in principle , there was nothing, because they have a rental business and lease agreements, so the company left the market, but in place. hmm, other tenants are coming to this brand now. uh, other manufacturers, well, even the example of gloria jeans, which is very is actively expanding its presence in the domestic market and is truly showing phenomenal growth results. how many stores does adidas have left who act as a buyer of adidas have not yet introduced us to their buyer ? they have about, in my opinion, adidas stores themselves . as i understand it, they decided to sell their products through multi-brand sales points. eh, but hmm, it’s clear that very often

this is a sensitive issue. foreign company sellers keep information about their potential partners secret for a long time them, but again, yes, whatever task we set for ourselves, we fulfill it. if we see that a company begins to sell one object at a time, one store or shopping complex, or logistics center. we stop such sales because there are sales going on there. uh, also within the framework of a government commission, but for the full price, as a business transaction and we are talking about that, please, uh, if you want to leave the market, you carry out various assessments. go to uh, commission. and if you decide to leave, then you can do so no more than for half the cost, which is what i already said, so we are waiting for specific applications from the adidas company and we will continue to make a decision. today , a message appeared in the media that the monolist is a manufacturer of aluminum cans in the company

will increase. the cost of her cans is about this. as far as i understand, i informed the beverage producers. could prices for drinks rise because of this, and will the ministry of industry and trade somehow intervene in the situation when raw materials or packaging become more expensive? ah, what is the basis for the production of any products. uh, these products hmm tend to become more expensive. i don’t really understand the statement from the rs company. we have been cooperating well with them for many years. the erness company wrote about this in related media . now i have acquired a lot of assets that are leaving. but at the same time, our aluminum prices have fallen in price in recent months, in general, the tape manufacturer , the samara plant, has not increased prices for the company. therefore, to be honest, we

are treating this statement with a certain degree of caution, i would say, even striptism and since the arnest company occupies, in my opinion, almost 80% of the russian bank market. if, hmm, some decisions are inadequate, of course, we reserve the right to contact the federal dark-field service. togo, the ernest company recently received an industrial development loan of about six billion rubles. to expand production, including lids for jars. well, the covers, and we promised the company. something just they are building new production facilities and saturating the russian market. we will definitely offer an introduction import customs in order to support the russian manufacturer. that is, we behave absolutely adequately at the state level, in accordance, again, with those projects being implemented, but any increase in price, especially

if it is associated with the decision of a monopolist in the market , must necessarily be uh, in the area of ​​hmm close attention of the federal topic of floor service. i think that will be the case and it will be a question of logistics. it is clear that the price of goods is influenced by how quickly they are delivered to store shelves, and in this regard there is a lot of talk about this alternative route, like the northern sea route, including talk here in flars and at sessions of the eastern economic forum. how do you assess the development, if in the sea route, do we have enough icebreakers, how is the creation of a fleet for the northern sea route going? indeed, the northern sea route is the most important transport artery not only for our manufacturers, but also for companies from friendly states, primarily from the east, firstly , the northern sea route significantly reduces the time of transportation of goods, for example, from the same murmansk or st. petersburg to japan

china vladivostok uh, almost twice as much, and the northern sea route is an absolutely safe corridor, in contrast to the same soviet channel, where today at the session our colleagues from china said that well, piracy, somalis, somali pirates, they haven’t gone away. it's cheaper and more economical. mm definitely from an emissions point of view. uh, it will be much more environmentally friendly, because the same hmm gas carriers for transporting rich natural gas will run on selective gas, and not on diesel fuel about this today they say sergei borishcha. ivanov is absolutely right, and indeed the stated very ambitious tasks. uh, they were set by the president of the russian federation putin to increase cargo turnover in the thirtieth year. well, the base figure is 150 million, a ton. i think that it will be 190 and more than 2.35-220 m in

the twenty-second year, more than 31. half a million tons of cargo were transported and, of course, it is necessary to create a serious, uh, arctic group of ships. it's not just icebreakers. these are, of course, rescue vessels. and, of course, freight carriers court today we are working in this regard. we are asked a question. will the russian versions definitely cope? well , firstly, of course, and the main manufacturer of the fleet for transportation along the northern sea route. this is the star shipbuilding complex. eh, well, here is the missionary solution, as always, the all-time missionary solution, which was proposed earlier by the flogged and supported, approved, catching putin, uh, an ultra-modern, very large technological vera was built, which will be after all work will be completed. where will 300, more than 300,000 metals be processed? well, that is, in order to reach the break-even point, the star needs to build in 2035.
