“Support from Russian citizens has always helped us, and I’m confident that the government’s future line-up will rely on the people. We must never forget about the needs of ordinary people. We must always remember how government-level decisions influence the lives of all ordinary Russian citizens.”
"I want to say from the start that the available managerial structure is very precise, and the Olympic project is being funded regularly. We have said many times that necessary allocations will come fully and in time, problems or no problems. And this is what has been happening."
"As far as the Ulan Bator Railway is concerned, I believe that our joint efforts to develop the Mongolian transport infrastructure will allow us to create new jobs and new sources of income, as well as to increase the efficiency of the regional cooperation as a whole. I would like to stress that our project is aimed not only at upgrading the Ulan Bator Railway, but also at developing the Mongolian railway network. We have established the joint venture with this goal in mind."
"We were aiming at the trade turnover reaching $1-1.3 billion by 2010, which we accomplished in 2008. As you can see, we are ahead of schedule. Overall, our trade and economic relations have developed positively. More trustful atmosphere of our partnership and closer cooperation prompt us to reach new agreements, and today you witnessed the signing of a new document."
"The Rostechnology State Corporation will be joining efforts with Mongolia's Erdenet and Mongolrostsvetmet companies in the capacity of a new Russian shareholder. I am confident that Rostechnology will help these Mongolian companies to achieve better efficiency through technological modernisation and streamlined management. Most importantly, it will ensure increased stability against the volatile economic environment."
"We naturally complement each other; our economies do at any event. Japan's advanced technology, our resources in Eastern Siberia and the Far East - we share common interests. We need to sweep aside that which interferes with the development of our relationships off the agenda. Clearly this must happen, and can only be accomplished in ways that correspond to the Russian Federation's national interests."
"Together with our Mongolian partners, we are working to promptly launch joint investment projects in the metal mining industry. I believe that we will succeed in implementing the previously agreed uranium mining and processing projects."
"We decided to increase their workload. By 2015, Sukhoi will supply the Russian Federation's Armed Forces with over 60 cutting edge fighter planes. This will more than ensure there are commissions for the military part of the enterprise. The factory is also working on creating a 5th generation weapons system. Work on that is proceeding according to schedule."
"We decided that in order for shipbuilding in the Far East to be modern and competitive, and to ensure that no one who orders from them, even Russians, feel the requirement to place their orders abroad (and overall you can understand that they want the goods they buy to be at an acceptable market price and of good quality), comprehensive modernisation is required, or to be more precise, virtually new construction. We are also planning such construction at the Zvezda shipbuilding company in Vladivostok."
"We are pleased with how our relations are developing and I would like to note that we have achieved practically all the goals we set for ourselves when we drew up the "Russian-Japanese Action Plan" in 2003."
