Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke at the plenary session of the Congress. The Head of State noted that positive trends are gaining strength in the Russian economy:
“We managed to compensate for the actual closure of Western markets, expand Russia’s foreign trade contacts with the states of the fast-growing regions of the world. You know, as in previous years, before all these crisis phenomena and special operations, we gradually focused on rapidly developing markets. Well, now the situation has developed in such a way that it turned out that we did not do it in vain. Moreover, they even did it at a slower pace than they should have done. The fact is that we are just continuing this trend. Over the past year, our trade turnover with these regions of the world and with these countries has grown significantly. And it continues to increase.”
Vladimir Putin also stressed the importance of the qualified personnel influx for the development of new production and management technologies and told how the “Professionalism” project will work.
“Also I will note the joint initiative of business and government – the federal project “Professionalism”. As it was said in the message, we will strengthen our work in this field so that in the next five years at least a million young people will take part in the project. They will receive a modern, high-quality education, skills and qualifications that guarantee an interesting, good and well-paid job,” the President said.
During the Congress, Stanislav Prokofiev, Rector of the Financial University, discussed with representatives of the business community possible areas of cooperation in ensuring the technological sovereignty of the country and training highly qualified personnel for the national economy.
