far east and second question. is one. of those. young people. tsunamis in the far east who would like to leave. what measures are undertaken by the government of the russian federation to encourage people in the region to stay in the region. for. areas which could be used to attract the chinese investment i can say that these areas could be very diverse first and foremost. as i have mentioned to work with our partners including our trainees partners with me on technology on the technologist of the future let me draw attention to the fact that the. far very. close search clusters that were created long ago and they have certain capabilities for. these clusters are established and they're being if you organized and. the shipment of fracturing the industry and. companies here are created to be a participation in the chinese capital i know that our colleagues from hong kong.

russia's skolkovo project will probably have a far east and a far eastern wing into it and there will be the make the most logical sense sort of mentioned the russians of reopen the so-called northern routes this is the shipping route that goes not round africa to asia but it goes over the top and it's like two thirds the distance and so it's faster and cheaper and that that's already started because of the ice breakers nuclear powered icebreakers and those trade flows that way they only increases voted on stocks imports and so you know if you're sending goods from asia to europe and so you don't. on global warming benefits at least one country in the world right yeah i mean as putin said moscow with palm trees what's so bad about that. change gears a little bit take a look at russian perspective here so i mean how is russia doing it compared to its emerging market peers ok because we still have a lot of turbulence out there yeah absolutely i mean russia is highly impacted by the commodity prices it's brazil and its base had actually fallen off a cliff and india is doing very badly. i mean we're having rolling blackouts across india china i mean chi

the european markets and the asian markets but what russian investors were focused on and particular was the apec summit of course in russia's far east and top executives there were discussing not only investments into the asia pacific region but they're also discussing the debt crisis and business r.t. . metals and magnets and ask them what he things should be done in order to save the euro and this is what he had to say. completely. real balance of trade to real. opportunity to see true solution for the great. wall street and see what's happened in the. us from its foreign direction that's where we're seeing that the figures are pretty much flat to negative the dow and the guys that set in just going on what happened there we got a report that showed jobs growth for the month of august slowed sharply and of course that didn't act well sit well with investors they do believe that perhaps this is the push needed for the federal reserve to take action and inject some of the monitor stimulus that. as i mentioned earlier was very positive and i suppose after the european central bank and surprise them are. bought by programme and said t

but first russian president vladimir putin is urged pacific leaders at the apec summit in russia's far eastcity of lot of all stock to apply every effort to combat the global food to combat the global food issues in the global food supply this as leaders from china and russia have called for stronger unity and member nations to combine efforts to protect the global economy. has the latest. cousin who said that right now the global economy has reached a critical point and in order to ensure stability and prosperity china is ready to take on that role of the power locomotive to rule the world with the global economy out of this crisis so it's really no surprise that russia is looking increasingly more and more towards its close neighbor and the moscow and beijing seem to agree on the lot of matters and not just the matters concerning the economy but also concerning politics as well and now of course russia has a lot to offer to china and china is ready and willing to receive whatever russia has to offer of course we can expect the united states to be somewhat worried about china which it prob

trading session when it comes to the russian investors they're really recovering from the asia pacific economic cooperation summit that's a place in russia's far east and in fact it became quite clear early on that the country is now focusing when the comes to deals will vary and with him it was and was there for us and he has all the details. the apec summit here and talk symbolizes the winds of change not just for russia but for the global economy so void yet another crisis. needed and they need it quickly china's outgoing president hu jintao says he's very much concerned with notable downside risks with slowing economy this is coupled with the fact that you still in a deep debt crisis so russia is naturally turning to asia boosting trade in the pacific rim twenty one percent. but the e.u. remains its main trade accounting for fifty one percent so president putin wants to very much trade with the e.u. concerned with the recent investigation into gas dominance. i think the main reason for this investigation is the difficult economic situation in the eurozone. countries and the problem is. the join the european union. to subsidise those economies.

of the major talking points of light in their visit to the far east was his time to lead a flock of white siberian cranes in flight the russian president joined a project to save the endangered. as well as disguising himself as one to help the cause but i want to special costume if you are micro light to show the cranes the way to asia well at least for a short while at the final news conference of the apec summit one of the journalists asked to comment on the move and compared it to leading a country. fried. not. immediately only the weak koreans don't follow immediately thank you i must admit it's also the leader of the pilots from the north koreans from the media. but i would if i was too fast and too high they can't keep. their birds flying afloat even if they aren't part of the flock they're part of our population i mean should be taken care of as much as possible. to syria now where the us has reportedly been beefing up its presence along the turkish border american officials said this week a washington is sending teams of advisers to support the anti assad fighters commenting on western nations plans to recognize the s

far east building coal and grain. where you think that after last year's tsunami in japan demand for russian coal rises it will be. substituting for nuclear power stations going. in the us with a grain terminal well russia has enough grain to increase its exports which i define a million tons. however in russia far east existing infrastructure and he allowed to export seventy tons last year with and we will be able to export over one hundred tons more. to one of the main problems that russia has over in the order to be able to capitalize on its unique location in the region. to make russia more attractive for international cargo flows before we need to solve the problem of insufficient access to its people to keep. track of the days before it gets to ship customs regulations are another issue it takes almost two weeks for a container to get in customs clearance the same amount of time as it. starts to hope that once we improve services and customs procedures and if the course is about tentative cargo trying to run away and the north sea routes will become attractive international business is more profound is that

far east and build in coal and grain. we think that after last year's tsunami in japan demand for russian coal rises it will be just as selling g substituting for nuclear power stations going out of service in the past with a grain terminal well russia has enough grain to increase its exports which would be five million tons. however in russia's far east existing infrastructure allowed to export seventy thousand tons last year and we will be able to export over one hundred tons more. what are the main problems that russia has to solve in the order to be able to capitalize on its unique location in the region. to make russia more attractive for international cargo flows that's what we need to solve the problem of insufficient railway access to tools that keep. trucks for days before it gets on board a ship customs regulations are another issue it takes almost two weeks for a container to get customs clearance the same amount of time as it takes to transport it starts to that once we improve services and customs procedures and of course as a tentative cargo such as a chance i'd be ready way and the north sea routes will become
