“There are extremely important objectives in this area, as has always been the case. I am talking about Russia gaining a leading position in this area of research, establishing cutting-edge production facilities, and expanding into international nanotechnologies markets. The current economic problems are no reason to abandon these goals. On the contrary, they only challenge us to work more effectively and more intensively if we want to diversify the country’s economy and provide it with a modern technological foundation.”
