Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed the development of the North with permanent members of the Security Council, reported Kremlin press service.
“Today we will talk about issues related to the development of the North. This also applies to the Northern Sea Route, the continental shelf and some other issues,” Putin said.
The President invited Minister of Natural Resources Alexander Kozlov to start a discussion. The operational meeting was also attended by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, chairmen of the State Duma and Federation Council Vyacheslav Volodin and Valentina Matvienko, heads of law enforcement agencies, special representative of the president on environmental issues, ecology and transport Sergei Ivanov and others.
Last year, the government approved a plan for the development of the Northern Sea Route until 2035. The plan includes 150 activities, which are included in five key sections: cargo base, transport infrastructure, cargo and icebreaker fleet, safety of navigation along the Northern Sea Route, as well as management and development of shipping according to NSR. 1.8 trillion rubles have been allocated for the implementation of the plan.
In July this year the government expanded conditions for the provision of subsidies for companies performing cabotage transportation along the NSR between the ports of the Far East and north-west Russia.
