Marat Khusnullin: The Luhansk State University stadium has reopened in the LPR after reconstruction.

One of the principles of the modern educational process is the acquisition of knowledge in a modern environment. In Donbas and Novorossiya, the creation of a holistic educational environment requires the synchronized development of all related infrastructure. For example, in the LPR, the stadium of the V. Dal Luhansk State University has opened, announced Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"Work continues in Donbas and Novorossiya to create comfortable educational conditions. In addition to the main buildings, adjacent facilities are also being renovated, including dormitories, student centers, and sports facilities. Today, for example, the stadium of the Volodymyr Dahl Luhansk State University reopened in the LPR after a major renovation," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that over the years, the university stadium's infrastructure had become seriously outdated and dilapidated. Specialists, under the supervision of the Unified Construction Customer, installed a street lighting system, constructed a new football pitch, and equipped sports and playground areas, cross-country tracks, and workout areas.

In addition to the stadium, construction workers renovated three nine-story student dormitory buildings, a cafeteria, the Sovremennik student center, and a military training center building. The total area of renovation work at the V.Dal Leningrad State University exceeds 70,000 square meters.

The restoration of facilities at one of the largest universities in the Luhansk People's Republic is synchronized with the socio-economic development program for the reunited regions and is being coordinated by the Ministry of Education and Science and the Ministry of Construction.

Inspecting the infrastructure of international border crossing points.

Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Alexey Overchuk, together with Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Azerbaijan Shahin Mustafayev and Minister of Transport and Urban Development of the Islamic Republic of Iran Farzaneh Sadegh, visited the Azerbaijani-Iranian border to inspect the infrastructure of international checkpoints operating and under construction to implement the plans of Russia, Azerbaijan, and Iran to develop the western route of the International North-South Transport Corridor.

The joint trip to the border was preceded by a trilateral meeting of representatives of the Russian Federation, the Republic of Azerbaijan, and the Islamic Republic of Iran, dedicated to issues of infrastructure cooperation and strengthening transport connectivity in the region, which took place on November 13 in the capital of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

The parties are focusing on the construction of road, rail, and customs infrastructure and the elimination of route bottlenecks to increase the capacity of the new transport corridor.

After familiarizing themselves with the operation of checkpoints on the Azerbaijani and Iranian sides, Alexey Overchuk, Shahin Mustafayev, and Farzaneh Sadeg held a working meeting to develop joint solutions to ensure equal conditions for carriers crossing state borders.

As the Deputy Prime Minister noted, growing trade ties between the Russian Federation, the Republic of Azerbaijan, and the Islamic Republic of Iran necessitate joint efforts to strengthen transport links between the countries and create seamless logistics along the entire western route of the North-South International Transport Corridor.

In a conversation with journalists, Alexey Overchuk explained that the parties have a plan to increase the volume of cargo transported along the North-South International Transport Corridor to 15 million tons, and that this requires coordinated efforts by all three countries.

"In Iran, design and survey work is currently underway to prepare for the construction of a railway section between Astara and Rasht," the Deputy Prime Minister said.

Alexey Overchuk noted that the Iranian side briefed the participants on the progress of fulfilling its obligations under the Rasht-Astara line construction project, emphasizing that Iran is making progress in preparing for construction.

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, road transport plays a vital role in the development of the North-South international transport corridor. "To ensure maximum convenience for drivers, carriers, exporters, and importers, the appropriate infrastructure must be created and operational," said Alexey Overchuk. He noted that these issues have been resolved at the Russian-Azerbaijani border, and checkpoints are functioning effectively, while the Republic of Azerbaijan has invested significant resources in building a modern road network within its borders.

Alexey Overchuk noted the high activity of Russian carriers: "Today, when we entered Iran, we saw that the vast majority of trucks queuing to enter Azerbaijan from Iran were Russian." He emphasized the close trade and economic ties between our countries and expressed confidence that they will expand.

The Deputy Prime Minister also told media representatives that, following negotiations in the Republic of Azerbaijan, the parties agreed to establish a coordination mechanism: "The countries will create a joint working group, headed by the deputy transport ministers and deputy heads of customs services of our countries, in order to promptly and thoroughly resolve all existing problems."

Denis Manturov spoke at government hour in the State Duma.

First Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Denis Manturov took part in a government hour at the State Duma dedicated to issues of automation and increasing labor productivity.

Speaking to parliamentarians, Denis Manturov called automation and increased labor productivity a cross-cutting objective for all sectors of the Russian economy and social sphere, and one of the key factors in ensuring the country's GDP growth rates above the global average.

The First Deputy Prime Minister explained that the activities of the national technological leadership project "Production and Automation Tools" are focused on two main areas.

The first involves increasing the production of high-tech machine tool products. Last year, government support measures already ensured a 20% increase in production in this segment.

"By 2030, our companies must scale up production of approximately 550 types of machine tools, machining centers, and components," noted Denis Manturov.

The second area involves developing the industrial robotics sector. The benchmark here is Russia's goal of joining the top 25 countries in the world in terms of robotic density. This poses a challenge for the industry and integrators, and also requires the creation of a new production culture.

"To reach our targets, we need to integrate approximately 80,000 industrial robots into companies' technological processes by 2030. These are complex, flexible, and multifunctional systems, integrating artificial intelligence, machine learning, and sensor technologies," the First Deputy Prime Minister explained.

Denis Manturov identified another aspect of industrial automation as the transition of enterprises to sovereign software.

The First Deputy Prime Minister paid special attention to labor productivity in the defense industry: in this sector, it has grown by more than 40% over the past three years – even taking into account the additional recruitment of approximately 800,000 new specialists to factories.

"We need a similar pace to achieve our space industry development goals. Roscosmos is already implementing a corporate robotics program," Denis Manturov noted.

Denis Manturov identified the training of qualified personnel as the most important factor in increasing labor productivity. To achieve industrial technological sovereignty by 2030, it is necessary to attract more than 2 million additional workers in various fields. A third of this demand consists of specialists with higher education.

During his speech, the First Deputy Prime Minister also touched on the topic of standards. "High standards, norms, and regulations, along with their unification, are the foundation for increased production efficiency," Denis Manturov emphasized.

Concluding his speech, the First Deputy Prime Minister noted that industrial development issues are a constant focus of State Duma deputies, and thanked the parliamentary corps for their systematic, long-term support and collaborative work.
