They discussed the demographic situation in the North-Western Federal District.

Last year the number of births in the district increased by 6,000 people, and the mortality rate decreased by 15 percent, Ilya Klebanov said.

As the President noted, the challenge consists in making this a sustainable trend over the next 5–10 years.
