The decision will stimulate businesses developing the production of medicines in the country.

From January 1, 2026, a point system for assessing the level of localization of production in the pharmaceutical industry will come into effect in Russia. The decree on this was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

The main goal of introducing a new system for assessing the origin of goods is to expand the range of pharmaceuticals produced in Russia, as well as to create additional incentives for the development of the industry and the development of promising technologies for the production of medicines.

Starting from the new year, points will be awarded for establishing the production of medicines and pharmaceutical substances in the country. Products will be considered Russian upon collecting a certain number of points. The decision on this will be made by the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

Manufacturers whose products are recognized as Russian will gain access to government support instruments.

The scoring mechanism for confirming the production of industrial products in Russia was launched in 2015 and is currently in effect in many industries.

The document will be published.

“A lot of work is being done under the national project “Infrastructure for Life” to update the road network, including federal highways that take on heavy traffic and, as a result, a large load on the road surface. One of these highways is the R-22 “Caspian” highway, which connects the regions of the central and southern parts of Russia. Currently, various types of work are being carried out on the road. Thus, on the section from the 356th to the 371st km in the Tambov region, specialists are busy widening the roadway. The readiness of the facility has exceeded 50%, road workers are on schedule. The result of the work will be a four-lane road with an axial barrier fence, which will significantly reduce the risk of head-on collisions. The capacity of the section will increase to 26 thousand cars per day. I am confident that thanks to the systematic work and responsible approach of Rosavtodor, the team of the acting governor of the region Evgeny Pervyshov Tambov residents and users of the highway will receive a high-quality, updated section within the established time frame,” said Marat Khusnullin.

At present, all layers of road surface (except for the top) have been completed on 13 out of 15 km for two new lanes of the road, which are already used for traffic. Work has been fully completed on the construction of two turnaround loops, which provide a safe exit from the federal highway to the settlements of Fonvizino, Novospasskoye, Zavodskoy, Ilovay-Dmitrievskoye and Staroseslavino. The process of destructuring cement concrete slabs on the old two lanes of the road and the construction of a third turnaround loop are underway.

In addition, construction of bridge structures continues on this section. The installation of supports for the left half of the roadway of the railway overpass at the 359th km of the route has been completed. The specialists plan to expand the bridge over the Ilovai River to four traffic lanes this year.

"The issue of road quality for residents of the Tambov Region is one of the most important. We are improving the road network within the framework of national projects, federal and regional programs. The R-22 "Caspian" highway is of paramount importance for us. It provides transport links not only between the northern and southern territories of the region, but also with other subjects of the country. I am glad that the planned actions are being implemented and very soon another section of a modern comfortable highway will appear," commented the acting head of the Tambov Region, Yevgeny Pervyshov.

Completion of the major repairs of the 15-kilometer section of the R-22 “Caspian” highway is planned for 2026.

The work is being carried out by the Federal State Institution “Moscow-Volgograd Federal Highway Administration”, which is subordinate to Rosavtodor.

Dmitry Grigorenko: The government has introduced artificial intelligence into the national projects management system

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Government of the Russian Federation – Government of the Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The government has implemented artificial intelligence technology in the state system for monitoring and managing national projects and state programs. The AI model analyzes 100% of the events and indicators of national projects and state programs of Russia online, comparing them with the indicators of the national development goals set by the President. The work on digitalization of the state apparatus is supervised by Deputy Prime Minister – Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.

Such analytics helps to identify connections between government projects, including non-obvious ones. This is necessary for developing an effective plan for achieving national goals and making accurate management decisions. Often, the activities and indicators of one national project (or state program) are closely related to the activities of another. For example, to ensure the availability of housing on the primary market, it is important to take into account not only the volume of housing construction and its cost, but also the financial capabilities of citizens. Therefore, it is important to understand what activities are planned to support citizens in purchasing housing. The AI model allows you to identify such relationships. The use of artificial intelligence also allows you to receive timely information about the risks of failure to implement one event due to delays in the implementation schedule of others or their revision.

"The government currently uses artificial intelligence, including for analyzing the forecast of non-fulfillment of various programs and events. In particular, we use AI in the management system of national projects and state programs. Artificial intelligence analyzes planned events, their implementation processes and predicts risks. The accuracy of such a forecast already reaches 96%. This is important because our task is not to record the fact that something has not been done somewhere, but to ensure that everything is implemented," noted Dmitry Grigorenko.

The Deputy Prime Minister also emphasized that artificial intelligence does not make the final decision, but is a tool that simplifies human work.

AI technology can significantly reduce the time required to analyze indicators and activities. The AI system processes more than 1,000 possible options per minute to determine the correct relationships, i.e. cases where one event or indicator affects the achievement of a specific national development goal of the country. Previously, such analysis was carried out manually. Thus, in order to evaluate almost half a million potential relationships between the indicators of national goals and all activities, it would be necessary to involve 76 experts from 38 industries, while manual analysis would take them about 4 years. Artificial intelligence allows this work to be done in 1 day.

To date, the AI model has identified more than 8,000 new connections. All of them are sent for verification to federal executive authorities, which in turn can confirm the relationship or reject it and send information about it for a more detailed analysis to the Project Management Center of RANEPA. Thus, artificial intelligence serves as a tool that speeds up the work process, but the final decision always remains with the person.

BEIJING, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) — China will introduce a national child care subsidy system from this year as part of efforts to improve the childbearing support system and promote high-quality population development, Lei Haichao, head of the National Health Commission, said Thursday.

As of Wednesday, more than 80 percent of eligible applicants had completed registration through online and offline channels, he said at a press conference introducing China's progress in healthcare during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025).

According to a plan released earlier by the general offices of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and the State Council, from January 1 this year, Chinese families will receive an annual childcare subsidy of 3,600 yuan (about US$506.8) for each child – whether first, second or third – until they reach the age of 3.

Over the past five years, economic support for child care has been expanded in many aspects. Child care and upbringing for children under 3 years old has been included in the additional deductions from individual income tax, and the deduction threshold has been raised from 1,000 yuan per child per month to 2,000 yuan, said Guo Yanhong, deputy head of the NRC.

She added that all provincial-level administrative units in China now include assisted reproductive technology projects in the reimbursement program for services provided under medical insurance, along with other measures such as free pre-school education and housing support.

According to her, the rate of regular check-ups for pregnant women, women in labor and newborns across the country remains above 90 percent. The Chinese official noted that comprehensive services in the entire process of childbirth have been improved, including the mechanism for screening high-risk pregnancy and special treatment for high-risk pregnant women and women in labor.

Chinese parents are also being given more time to care for their babies and young children. Guo Yanhong said maternity and parental leave have also been extended in all provincial-level regions across the country. -0-

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

On September 11, 2025, the first stream of the educational program for teachers of higher education "Guides of Meanings. DNA of Russia" was launched at the State University of Management. The organizers of the program are the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, the Federal Agency for Youth Affairs "Rosmolodezh", the State University of Management and the "DNA of Russia" project.

More than 300 employees from 60 universities, representing over 20 regions of the country, gathered at the SUM IT Center.

Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education Olga Petrova addressed the meeting participants with a welcoming speech, noting the high level of organization of the event by the State University of Management.

"Thank you to everyone who agreed to become our assistants in creating a sustainable value-based teaching framework, which is critically important for conveying meanings and values to students. The President set a national goal – to educate a harmoniously developed, socially responsible individual based on spiritual and moral values and historical traditions. In achieving this goal, teachers play a leading role. They are the ones who are examples for students. Only together can we implement what was conceived and achieve the set goal. Thank you, GUU, for not being afraid to be the first," Olga Viktorovna noted.

On behalf of the State University of Management, the audience was greeted by Vice-Rector Pavel Pavlovsky, who thanked the Russian Ministry of Education and Science for choosing the State University of Management as the launching pad for the new program.

"Rector Vladimir Stroyev often emphasizes the primary meaning of the word "state" in the name of our university. And the key tasks facing the state will be determined by the meanings and values that we will talk about today. I really like the name "DNA of Russia". I am sure that the community of teachers is a community of the smartest people in the country. And if we cannot explain to a student why he is studying and what his goal is after completing his studies, then this is a failure. And we will not allow this failure," concluded Pavel Vladimirovich.

Olga Petrova also gave a presentation on the role of a teacher in the context of the implementation of the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of 07.05.2024 No. 309 "On the national development goals of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2030 and for the perspective up to 2036". The Deputy Minister emphasized that each of the designated goals concerns education and gave examples of successful actions by universities to improve the relevant indicators.

The head of the educational program, President of the MAKO Association Olga Golyshenkova, spoke in more detail about the structure of the educational program, for the participation of which everyone gathered, and its main tasks. The expert noted that each teacher influences the perception and value systems of students and it is important to understand how to consciously influence the future of individuals and the country as a whole.

Tatyana Kuznetsova, Head of the Department for Work with Alumni of the Presidential Academy's Youth Policy Department, shared a successful example of creating a community of teachers, the "Club of Meaning Creators".

The scientific director of the “DNA of Russia” project, Vice-Rector of the Presidential Academy Andrey Polosin introduced those gathered to the history of the project’s creation and the worldview and values that were embedded in it.

During the two-day intensive course, participants will work in groups, formulating values and key meanings in practice, as well as discussing ways to convey them, will share successful cases and real-life experiences, and will also defend the results of their work.

It should be noted that the program "Conductors of Meanings. DNA of Russia" is a continuation of the program "Voice of a Generation. Teachers", one of the streams of which also took place in 2024 also at the State University of Management. The start of the program on September 11 marked the beginning of a series of 25 streams in universities throughout Russia.
