Prime Minister Vladimir Putin chairs a meeting of the Government Presidium
"Russia is a world leader in its reserves of oil, natural gas, gold, diamonds, silver, copper, lead, iron ore and coal. This is our natural competitive advantage, which we must use, but use wisely. Ultimately, mining accounts for over 30% of the country’s GDP. Today geological exploration is a promising and attractive enterprise, where each rouble invested by the government attracts 10 roubles of private investment."
“We intend to buy only new, state-of-the-art equipment and not what was designed twenty or even thirty years ago. For this purpose, we made a full inventory of the military industrial complex and specified basic requirements for military production.”
