“If we truly want to succeed in our efforts, our focus must always be on the Russian people. Russian families must feel the positive changes in their lives and that is the main goal and meaning of our work.”
“What is the purpose of power? So people in power can live the sweet life? No. It is to resolve the problems of the people who shape this power through the open and honest expression of their will.”
“The purpose of the state and the economy is to address social issues. It is clear that not a single problem can be resolved without the economy, be it defence capability, security or social issues. <…> But we work for the benefit of the people. At least it should be so.”
“All our plans will be carried out in compliance with the toughest environmental standards. A careful, civilised attitude to nature is a requirement of all development programmes. Active economic development of the Arctic will be beneficial only if we maintain a rational balance between economic interests and environmental protection for the long term, not just for 10, 15 or 20 years.”
“I hope this is only the beginning of our joint efforts to explore the Arctic, to study it and to work out regulations of international conduct in this region,” the Russian Prime Minister told the Prince of Monaco.
The parties discussed cooperation in the Arctic as well as bilateral trade and economic relations. Prime Minister Vladimir Putin noted that bilateral trade and economic cooperation increased by over 80% in the first six month of this year.
