Denis Manturov visited the Russian exhibit at the Dubai Airshow 2025.

First Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Denis Manturov, who leads the Russian delegation, visited the exhibit of domestic manufacturers at the Dubai Airshow 2025.

The total area of the Russian exhibit this year was almost 5,000 square meters. Major Russian companies from the aircraft manufacturing, space, and defense industries brought nearly 900 exhibits to Dubai. More than 30 of these were displayed in full-scale form at the static display area and in the Russian pavilion. Denis Manturov inspected the Su-57 fifth-generation fighter, which boasts real combat experience and is being showcased for the first time in the Middle East. Furthermore, the modernized Yak-130M combat trainer and the Ka-52 helicopter, equipped with the Kh-MD multipurpose homing missile for engaging ground and surface targets, made their world debuts.

"Today, I asked our Su-57 chief pilot how effectively artificial intelligence is used in pilot work. This is especially true when we're talking about a fifth-generation aircraft. It's one of the best aircraft in the world. It has proven itself in combat and is participating in special military operations. Artificial intelligence is now an integral part of pilot decision-making, especially when working in a group. It's impossible for one person to simultaneously make decisions and control both the aircraft and the weapons themselves. Therefore, artificial intelligence actively participates in the pilot's work," said Denis Manturov.

Key engine-building exhibits include the modern, next-generation "Product 177S" turbojet engine with improved technical characteristics, the state-of-the-art VK-650V power plant for light helicopters, and a line of small-size engines for various types of unmanned aerial vehicles. Roscosmos State Corporation and organizations in the rocket and space industry showcased examples of current and future rocket and space technology, spacecraft, and satellites.

Russian manufacturers showcased civilian and military UAVs at the exhibition: reconnaissance (Supercam S350, Orlan-10E, Orlan-30, Skat-350M), attack (Lancet-E system, Kub-2-2E loitering munitions), and multifunctional systems (KSI UAV with modular architecture).

"The exhibition features a wide variety of unmanned aerial vehicles, from small to large. This demonstrates that our products are in demand not only within our special military operation but also in international markets – among potential buyers who are familiar with our products and interested in them. These include countries in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Central Asia, Latin America, and Africa," noted the First Deputy Prime Minister.

Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin supported the proposal of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI) and the Roscongress Foundation to hold the All-Russian Inclusive Forum "Open for All" annually, starting in 2025. A corresponding agreement was signed. order.

"Accept the proposal of the autonomous non-profit organization 'Agency for Strategic Initiatives to Promote New Projects' to hold the All-Russian Inclusive Forum 'Open for All' annually, beginning in 2025. Form an organizing committee for the preparation and conduct of the forum and approve its composition," the order states.

"Creating fully-fledged conditions for the integration of people with disabilities into all spheres, from the economy to the arts, is not just one area of work, but a key principle of Russia's social policy. Addressing this large-scale challenge is impossible without an effective partnership between the government and business. Building proactive collaboration in the development and practical implementation of programs to create a barrier-free environment is a strategic necessity for building an inclusive society," emphasized Tatyana Golikova, Deputy Prime Minister and head of the forum's organizing committee.

The forum's annual status confirms that the topic of inclusion is becoming increasingly firmly entrenched on the state agenda and emphasizes that attention to it is not a one-time event, but a sustainable priority.

"We are creating a practical platform where representatives of government, business, and public organizations will work together to find effective solutions, discuss specific projects, and create the conditions for fundamental changes in the lives of millions of people. Our society's commitment and openness to all are not a slogan, but a competitive advantage and a source of strength. Holding the forum is directly linked to the national development goals set by the President, specifically, realizing the potential of each person, developing their talents, and nurturing patriotic and socially responsible individuals," said Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President of Russia and Executive Secretary of the Forum's Organizing Committee.

The development and scaling of inclusive projects has occupied a special place in the work of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives since its founding.

"Inclusive development is one of the priority areas of the National Social Initiative and an essential component of the country's sustainable development and a modern and just society. The Agency for Strategic Initiatives identifies and supports the best projects and practices in this area, concludes national inclusive agreements with companies and enterprises, and organized a thematic educational forum for two years in a row. In 2025, the forum expanded to include all stakeholders on the inclusive agenda, which will allow us to elevate the discussion to a new level and find the most effective solutions," emphasized Svetlana Chupsheva, ASI General Director.

Prioritizing the social agenda at the country's largest forums is one of the key objectives of the Roscongress Foundation's socio-creative platform.

"For over seven years, the Roscongress Foundation's socio-creative platform has been creating an environment for the transfer and scaling of the best social technologies and practices, producing and promoting social innovations that fundamentally improve the living environment and self-realization of people. Inclusion is a key focus of this work. The Foundation implements this in various formats – business sessions, the Innosocium Lab and NGO Day at major international forums, the All-Russian Student Competition of Social Projects, educational events, and inclusive film screenings as part of the Soul of Russia project. Holding the Open for All forum, in partnership with the ASI and supervised by the Government of the Russian Federation, is a new systemic development of the inclusive agenda, aimed at realizing the social mission of business by developing 'live' tools and specific solutions for promoting inclusion in the economy and social sphere," emphasized Elena Marinina, Deputy Director of the Roscongress Foundation and member of the forum's organizing committee.

The All-Russian Inclusive Forum "Open for All" will be held in Moscow on November 24–25, 2025, with the Cyberdom space serving as the main venue. Guests will enjoy a comprehensive interactive program, including brand fairs, master classes (including those from international participants), film screenings, and meetings with project ambassadors.

The business program includes over 20 discussions on barrier-free environments, rehabilitation, education, and employment, as well as socialization and leisure activities for people with disabilities. Particular attention will be paid to supporting SVO participants and their families. The event will conclude with the "Open for All" award ceremony.

More information about the program can be found on the official website. The organizers are ASI and the Roscongress Foundation.

The International Arctic Forum "The Arctic: Territory of Dialogue" will be held in Murmansk from 2027.

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Corresponding order signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin on November 12, 2025.

The International Arctic Forum is a key international platform for discussing the socioeconomic development of the Arctic region, attracting investment, and establishing international cooperation. The forum is organized by the Roscongress Foundation with the support of the Government of the Russian Federation.

"Murmansk is the starting point of the Northern Sea Route, a vital strategic area for the development of the Russian Arctic. This year, the International Arctic Forum was successfully held here, attracting approximately 1,300 participants and media representatives from 21 countries, along with approximately 230 representatives of Russian and foreign businesses representing more than 110 companies. We see growing interest in discussing the Arctic agenda. Our country is committed to mutually beneficial cooperation with all interested countries and is open to international collaboration. I am confident that the International Arctic Forum will continue to be a significant platform for discussing pressing issues on the Arctic agenda," emphasized Yuri Trutnev, Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District, and Chairman of the Organizing Committee for the International Arctic Forum "The Arctic: Territory of Dialogue."

"Murmansk is Russia's Arctic gateway. Holding the International Arctic Forum in the region symbolizes not only the development of key Arctic projects but also the importance of the world's largest economic zone with a unified set of tax and administrative preferences. The Arctic accounts for approximately 6% of Russia's GDP and approximately 10% of its total exports, thanks to the region's resources. It plays a key role in shaping trade chains through the Northern Sea Route and ensures the country's defense capability. Hosting the forum will support the intensive development of infrastructure, innovation, and new economic opportunities in the Arctic region, which will have a multiplier effect for the entire country," emphasized Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President and Executive Secretary of the Organizing Committee for the International Arctic Forum "The Arctic: Territory of Dialogue."

The Murmansk Region is demonstrating stable development despite external pressure and sanctions. According to the regional government's forecast, the gross regional product is expected to reach 1.3 trillion rubles in 2026, with annual GRP growth projected at approximately 1.3-2.3% from 2026 to 2028. Key factors include the comprehensive development of infrastructure projects, including the Murmansk transport hub, the ship repair cluster, the renovation of the sea fishing port, the expansion of production at the Kovdor Mining and Processing Plant and the Kirovsk branch of Apatit JSC, and the implementation of the Severny mine project. Fixed capital investment is expected to exceed 350 billion rubles in 2026 and reach 400 billion rubles by 2028.

"This is a huge step and a significant recognition of our joint work. This year, we held the forum under the motto 'Live in the North!', and it was then that the President called Murmansk the capital of the Russian Arctic. Now we're consolidating this status. The forum is a working platform where, together with our federal colleagues, we address real-world challenges: from economics and technology to logistics and the development of the Northern Sea Route. And holding the forum regularly in Murmansk means that key decisions on Arctic development will be made here, here in Russia," said Murmansk Region Governor Andrei Chibis.

Taiwan is an integral part of China, says Consul General of the People's Republic of China in Kazan Xiang Bo.

Moscow, November 17 /Xinhua/ — The Taiwan issue is one of the most vital to China's national interests; it is an untouchable red line that China will not allow anyone to cross. Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's provocative statement about Japan's possible intervention in the Taiwan Strait is extremely dangerous; it constitutes blatant interference in China's internal affairs and seriously undermines the post-war international order. This is stated in an article by Chinese Consul General in Kazan Xiang Bo, published in Russian media on Monday, which presents China's position on the Taiwan issue.

“The Taiwan issue is the core of China’s core interests, an untouchable red line,” the diplomat writes.

This article provides a brief historical overview confirming that Taiwan is an inherently Chinese territory. In 1895, Japan seized Taiwan and the Penghu Islands by force, establishing 50 years of colonial rule and committing countless crimes. Following World War II, the island was returned to China. This was recorded in a number of fundamental international documents—the Cairo Declaration, the Potsdam Proclamation, and the Instrument of Surrender of Japan. These documents laid the historical and legal foundation for Taiwan's inalienable status as part of China. On October 25, 1945, the Chinese government declared its sovereignty over Taiwan restored. The status of Taiwan was fully resolved. Recently, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of China adopted a resolution declaring October 25 as Taiwan Liberation Day.

According to Xiang Bo, shortly after winning the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the ruling Kuomintang clique unleashed a full-scale civil war in China, but suffered a complete defeat within just three years. The United States supported the Kuomintang clique, preventing the People's Liberation Army from liberating Taiwan, which led to the emergence of the Taiwan question. On October 1, 1949, the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China was proclaimed, becoming the country's sole legitimate government. This was a change of government without changing China, a subject of international law. "China's sovereignty and inalienable territorial boundaries have not changed, and the PRC government fully possesses and exercises sovereignty over all of China, including Taiwan," the Chinese diplomat emphasized.

“For more than 70 years, despite the long-standing political confrontation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, China’s sovereignty and territory have never been divided, and Taiwan’s status as part of China has never changed,” the article notes.

"The one-China principle has become the fundamental norm of international relations and the general consensus of the international community," Xiang Bo states. To date, 183 countries have established diplomatic relations with China, and all of them support the Chinese government's principled position on the Taiwan issue.

The Consul General emphasized that anyone who dares to interfere in any way with the great cause of China's reunification will be decisively rebuffed. The Japanese Prime Minister's recent misguided words and actions, he noted, seriously deviate from the one-China principle, challenge China's core interests, and infringe on the country's sovereignty.

"China and Russia are comprehensive strategic partners and have consistently and firmly supported each other on issues concerning their core interests. The Russian side clearly and unambiguously opposes any form of 'Taiwan independence' and firmly supports the Chinese side in defending national sovereignty and territorial integrity and achieving national reunification. Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stated this, and it is also clearly reflected in a number of important political documents of the two countries, which fully demonstrates the high level of Sino-Russian relations and the spirit of strategic cooperation," Xiang Bo's article states.
