After arriving in Khabarovsk, Vladimir Putin visited an exhibition of projects of socio-economic development of the Far Eastern Federal District's regions. Several constituent entities, part of the Far Eastern Federal District, have prepared presentations for United Russia's inter-regional conference.
Vladimir Putin inspected the exposition of the Sakha (Yakutia) Republic featuring a 422 billion rouble investment project called "The Comprehensive Development of South Yakutia." The president of Yakutia, Yegor Borisov, told the prime minister about plans to build a hydroelectric power station, two mining/iron and steel plants, two ore processing enterprises, a coal production facility and a motor-fuel plant.
Kamchatka Territory Governor Alexei Kuzmitsky told the prime minister about plans to build and overhaul the regional transport infrastructure, to expand small aviation and to improve the housing sector.
Primorye Territory Governor Sergei Darkin showed the regional exposition to Vladimir Putin, telling him about construction of various facilities for the upcoming 2012 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit. He also informed the prime minister about the expansion of the Bolshoi Kamen (Big Rock) single-industry town where a United Ship Building Company shipyard is currently under construction.
The prime minister also inspected the Khabarovsk Territory's exposition highlighting efforts to modernise the regional air traffic infrastructure. Under the project, there are plans to expand an airport in Nikolayevsk-on-Amur and to extend a runway at Borotskoye airport.
The Amur Region submitted an ambitious project for establishing a mining/iron-and-steel cluster which will make it possible to boost metals exports and to meet local shipyard demand for steel.
Vladimir Putin also assessed the presentations of the Magadan and Sakhalin Regions, the Jewish Autonomous Region and the Chukotka Autonomous Area which displayed their industrial expansion projects, as well as those envisioning construction of housing, social sector and road infrastructure facilities.
