President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Colleagues, good afternoon.
I do not really have to speak about the importance and fundamental significance of the Far Eastern region for our country. And this is the reason why specific government agencies as well as the Government as a whole are constantly working toward the development of the Russian Far East.
Today I propose discussing a few matters related to ensuring Russia’s security in that area. The situation in the region is somewhat complicated. We are aware of all the threats. Let us consider them in more detail today.
