“I have no doubt that working together, we can change Russia and make it a stronger and more prosperous state, a friendly neighbour, a country that protects human rights and dignity and has reliable private property guarantees. I'm confident that acting in this manner, we are bound to achieve success.”
“High moral standards, which must be continuously introduced and maintained in society, are indispensable for the effectiveness of all our efforts. People will only work hard if they know that the state is constantly thinking of them, taking care of them and will never abandon them.”
“We want to be appraised of every possible perspective. Even if at first glance they seem incompatible and diametrically opposed, I believe that we should be aware of all possible approaches to these issues. Only by holding a broad professional dialogue will we be able to find balanced solutions and eventually guarantee an effective programme of national development.”
“We should strive to be a leader among world economies. Leadership would give us a sense of security. To gain and keep a leading position, we need to look to breakthrough ideas in science and technology. <…> We can gain a leadership role in the major sectors if we make the most of our past achievements as well as innovate proactively. This is how we can progress. So let’s make the necessary adjustments in our roadmap and go from here.”
“It is our common task to turn Siberia, the Far East, and the Baikal area into a leading investment centre. We need not just dynamic development, but rather accelerated development here.”
“We need real economic and social breakthroughs, and most importantly, we need to improve the quality of life in every region of Russia. For that, each region needs to uncover its potential, to use every competitive advantage it might have. We pay special attention in this respect to the Russian Far East and the Baikal area.”
“Today the country faces major challenges. We need a new industrialisation and millions of modern jobs, a technological breakthrough and a growth of economic efficiency, rapid development of the social sphere, improvement of Russian people’s living standards as the ultimate result and the main goal that we must work for. Improving the well-being of Russian families.”
“The way the nation is developing depends primarily on its citizens, their initiative and desire to improve life in their home village, town, district, city and country, on the quality and effectiveness of the local governments, which are directly involved in the people’s lives. Russia begins exactly here, at the local level of government”.
“We must pave the way for thousands of new business ideas, companies and production facilities, so that new enterprises and production platforms grow quickly inside all non-oil and gas sectors. Consequently, we must do our best in order to enable everyone to bring to life his or her business and production dream here in Russia, so that it is profitable and comfortable to channel labour, efforts and investment into the new industrialisation.”
“We must consolidate the economic foundation of our political sovereignty and make our economy technologically independent. This is why we are talking about the need for its qualitative growth and are placing our bets on the domestic market and modern production.”
