First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov participated in the plenary session of the United Russia party's "There Are Results" reporting and program forum in Yekaterinburg, the central theme of which was industrial development.
Opening the meeting, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council Dmitry Medvedev noted that Russia has achieved success in various sectors while overcoming Western sanctions.
"Composite materials production is expanding. We are returning to the global civil aviation arena. The share of Russian equipment in the oil and gas industry, where they also essentially tried to cut off our supplies of key equipment, is increasing. Import substitution in this sector has exceeded 70%," Dmitry Medvedev emphasized.
Denis Manturov discussed United Russia's contribution to the development of the manufacturing industry as part of its People's Program. It places a significant emphasis on supporting industries that determine citizens' quality of life, the state of the economy, and the country's defense capability.
"This proactive stance by the country's leading political force is facilitating qualitative changes in our core industries. Despite complex challenges, manufacturing output has increased by more than 23% over the past five years, and the average wage has nearly doubled. Over this period, over 21 trillion rubles have been invested in fixed assets in the manufacturing sector. And through the Industrial Development Fund alone, more than 850 new projects have been launched," said Denis Manturov.
Together with Dmitry Medvedev, Denis Manturov visited the Ural Locomotives plant in the Sverdlovsk region, where trains for the Moscow-St. Petersburg high-speed railway are assembled. In the main production facility, they learned about the process of welding high-speed train body parts on automated systems, toured an exhibition of components, and met with the plant's staff. Denis Manturov noted that the level of technological sovereignty in domestic transport engineering currently stands at 98%.
"Developing new technologies always presents significant challenges, on the one hand, and carries certain risks, on the other. But we see and are convinced that this project you're working on is proceeding according to plan. Of course, various other circumstances may arise, but I'm confident you'll handle them," Denis Manturov told the company's employees.
