러시아 대통령이 블라디보스톡을 취임 후 처음으로 방문

 

 러시아의 메드베데프 대통령은 어제 취임 이래 처음으로 극동의 블라디보스톡을 방문해 시 창설 150주년을 기념하는 공연장에서 연설했습니다.

연설에서 메드베데프 대통령은 2년 후에 블라디보스톡에서 개최되는 APEC 아시아태평양경제협력체회의에 대해 이 대형행사는 국가의 외교적인 성공뿐만 아니라 여러분들을 위해 개최하는 것이라고 말해 APEC 개최가 지역경제 발전에 도움이 될 것이라는 점을 강조했습니다.

블라디보스톡 등 러시아 극동에서는 구소련이 붕괴된 이후 인구가 계속 유출되고 있어 메드베데프 대통령은 지역을 중시하는 입장을 거듭 밝힘으로써 지역 발전의 기운을 유지하려는 것으로 보입니다

 

Integration with the Asia-Pacific region countries offers great economic potential for developing Russia’s Far East

Dmitry Medvedev held a meeting in Khabarovsk on the Far East’s socioeconomic development and cooperation with the Asia-Pacific region countries.

Cooperation with the Far East region’s neighbours should focus on joint endeavours in the high-technology fields (particularly in energy, aircraft manufacturing, and the space sector), thereby strengthening Russia’s position in the Asia-Pacific region’s international organisations, the President said.  

Mr Medvedev noted that integration with the Asia-Pacific region countries offers great potential for developing the economy of the Far East and Russia in general. Such integration should be supplemented with relocation of goods, works and services from one part of the country to another while promoting closer cooperation within the Asia-Pacific region to the benefit of the eastern areas of Russia.  

Among the biggest problems of the Far Eastern Federal District, the President named the population outflow, which it has not yet been possible to stem. This is the most worrying trend and major threat in the region and it requires constant attention. To change the situation the region must improve its general competitiveness and quality of life. The success of these efforts will depend in large part on competent state social policy, and economic progress, including broader cooperation with neighbouring countries, which lack raw materials and energy resources, and where consumer demand is on the rise.
