Dmitry Grigorenko with First Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Tajikistan Hikmatullo Kholikzoda

During his working visit to Tajikistan, Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff of the Russian Federation Dmitry Grigorenko held a series of bilateral meetings dedicated to strengthening the partnership between Russia and Tajikistan in the field of digitalization. The Deputy Prime Minister noted that recent international trips to China, Belarus, and Tajikistan have revealed particular interest among foreign colleagues in Russia's experience in digitalizing public administration and implementing artificial intelligence.

The discussion with First Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Tajikistan Hikmatullo Kholikzoda focused on developing digital partnerships and building on Russian experience to accelerate digital development. In terms of digital development, the host country prioritized the development of electronic government services, cybersecurity, and training IT specialists, including in the field of AI. At the meeting, a decision was made to explore the creation of a Russia-Tajikistan working group on digital transformation.

"Russia has extensive experience in digitalizing government processes and providing public services. We've digitized document flow in the government and created and implemented user-friendly information systems for citizens. We continue to develop the government services portal: over 1,600 government services are already available, and we're now transitioning their provision to a proactive format. We're implementing artificial intelligence, including in large-scale government projects, such as the national project monitoring and management system. We have much to share with our international colleagues, and we see demand for domestic developments. Tajikistan has actively embarked on the path to digitalizing government systems. Sharing experiences and proven practices will help expedite this process," noted Dmitry Grigorenko.

During his visit to the IT Park in Dushanbe, the Russian Deputy Prime Minister met with Khurshed Mirzo, Director of the Agency for Innovation and Digital Technologies under the President of the Republic of Tajikistan.

During the meeting, it was discussed that Russian IT companies are already successfully operating in the Tajik market. Specifically, they are actively involved in implementing digital systems within the country's government.

For example, a domestic solution from JSC IRTech has enabled the refinement of the information system for the Ministry of Education and Science of Tajikistan. Some 562 schools in the country are already implementing electronic diaries based on the Russian solution.

Another company with Russian founders, ERA Group, is working with the Dushanbe city administration to implement a "Smart City" system that, through data digitization and the use of surveying drones, improves resource management efficiency and the quality of life for city residents.

Furthermore, Tajikistan is seeing demand for communications services from Russian operators. MegaFon Tajikistan, a subsidiary, operates successfully in the country: the company was the first to launch 3G, 4G/LTE, and 5G in the country and provides services to over 2 million foreign subscribers.

Russian digital platforms are also in demand. One domestic marketplace is the absolute market leader, with a share of over 50%.

The 20th International Festival "Science 0" has started at Lomonosov Moscow State University.

President Vladimir Putin sent a message of greetings to the festival's participants, organizers, and guests. The message was delivered by Moscow State University Rector and Academician Viktor Sadovnichy.

"Your forum, which began two decades ago at Lomonosov Moscow State University, is now rightfully considered one of the most vibrant and sought-after projects in the field of education and popularization of science and scientific and technical thought. Every year, it brings together renowned scientists and experts, teachers and mentors, students and pupils at its venues in universities, schools, museums, and libraries, and fosters interest among young people in innovative developments in various fields of knowledge, as well as in fundamental and applied research," the President noted.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko also sent a greeting to the participants.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted that this is the world's largest social project in the field of popularizing science and one of the key events of the Decade of Science and Technology, declared by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

This year marks the festival's 20th anniversary. It was first held at Moscow State University in 2006 at the initiative of Rector Viktor Sadovnichy and continues to uphold its traditions of openness and commitment to scientific knowledge.

"As our President Vladimir Putin said, 'Russia must be competitive in key areas of technological development. To achieve this, we need specialists capable of generating unique solutions.' The festival makes a significant contribution to the advancement of Russian science and the involvement of young people in research. Over the years, its total audience has reached approximately 100 million people," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.

This year's festival's main theme is "Your Quantum Universe." It will offer a new perspective on the fundamental laws of the universe, the nature of matter, and the behavior of particles.

"Friends! Interesting lectures, master classes, engaging scientific discussions, and an interactive exhibition await you. I wish everyone useful knowledge, new ideas, and vibrant experiences," added the Deputy Prime Minister.

The 7th Forum of Russian and Cuban University Rectors, a key platform for strengthening cooperation between the two countries in scientific and educational fields, opened at Lomonosov Moscow State University.

"Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel have repeatedly emphasized the importance of our countries' strategic partnership. Key areas include cooperation in science and higher education. Currently, approximately 200 agreements are in effect between universities in Russia and Cuba. This spring, the first branch of a Russian university, Southern Federal University, opened on the Island of Freedom. Our partners' interest in expanding academic exchange programs, Russian technological developments, and joint scientific research is only growing. I wish the participants of the Russian-Cuban Rectors' Forum productive work and new joint projects!" noted Dmitry Chernyshenko, Deputy Prime Minister of Russia and Co-Chair of the Intergovernmental Russian-Cuban Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific, and Technical Cooperation.

He also added that cooperation in science and higher education was given attention during the last meeting of the intergovernmental commission in Havana.

Speaking at the opening ceremony on the Russian side were Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education Konstantin Mogilevsky, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergei Ryabkov, and President of the Russian Union of Rectors, Rector of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov, Academician Viktor Sadovnichy.

"The warm relations between Russia and Cuba are largely due to the traditionally close cooperation between universities. The leadership of both countries has always placed great emphasis on educational developments. Its history includes many memorable moments: from Fidel Castro's visit to Moscow State University in May 1963 to the opening this year of a branch of the Southern Federal University at the University of Havana by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Nikolaevich Chernyshenko. For many decades, young Russians and Cubans have become acquainted with each other's cultures, learned Russian and Spanish, and scholars and faculty have exchanged experiences and scientific knowledge. The opportunity for ongoing communication and open dialogue, which inter-university cooperation provides, creates a unique, trusting relationship. Such a solid foundation allows us to further expand cooperation in the humanities," noted Konstantin Mogilevsky, Deputy Minister of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.

Existing agreements between Russian and Cuban universities facilitate the expansion of academic exchanges, joint research, training for leading Cuban companies, and the implementation of Russian language training programs. Under these agreements, staff from the Pushkin State Russian Language Institute and the University of Havana have recorded Russian language lessons for Cuban television, and the Southern Federal University has opened a mirror laboratory for the application of artificial intelligence in engineering at the Technological University of Havana.

"We see that the architecture of the entire global community is rapidly changing. New multilateral formats of interaction are developing. Cuba became a BRICS partner country this year. As part of the BRICS university community, we are working to create a ranking of BRICS universities. A year ago, during the leaders' summit in Kazan, the pilot results were presented. The BRICS university ranking is based on the indicators of the Moscow-based international ranking "Three University Missions." Currently, this is one of the largest international rankings in the world, surpassing the renowned QS ranking in scope. In our country, this initiative has received support at the highest government level," emphasized Viktor Sadovnichy.

Participants in the 7th Forum of Russian-Cuban University Rectors from the Cuban side include the Minister of Higher Education of the Republic of Cuba, Walter Baluja García, as well as the rectors and vice-rectors of 10 leading Cuban universities. Key topics will include prospects for bilateral scientific and educational cooperation, the development of academic mobility, the creation of joint educational programs and research centers, strengthening inter-university associations, developing human resource potential for the economies of both countries, and expanding cooperation in multilateral formats, including within the BRICS framework.

The 7th Forum of University Rectors of Russia and Cuba is held with the support of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, the Russian Union of Rectors, and the Ministry of Higher Education of the Republic of Cuba.

Following the official part of the forum, a working meeting was held between the Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, Valery Falkov, and the Minister of Higher Education of the Republic of Cuba, Walter Baluch García.

Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a resolution establishing standard contract terms for construction supervision services.

"Systematic work to improve regulatory frameworks serves as the foundation for increasing the efficiency of the construction industry and accelerating construction speeds. Construction supervision is fundamental to the safety and quality of construction projects, and we need to establish clear rules in this area. Standard contract terms will increase the transparency of relationships between all parties involved, which will ultimately have a positive impact on work results," noted Marat Khusnullin.

We are talking about construction supervision within the framework of contracts concluded in accordance with the Federal Law on Procurement (No. 44-FZ).

The Deputy Prime Minister clarified that a unified regulatory framework for this process will ensure full respect for the rights and interests of clients and contractors under such contracts. Furthermore, it will ensure uniform requirements for monitoring the progress of construction, reconstruction, and major repairs of facilities.

Alexander Novak chaired the 40th meeting of the Federal Headquarters for Gasification of Regions

Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak chaired the 40th meeting of the Federal Headquarters for Gasification of the Regions. It was attended by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev, who oversees the Siberian Federal District in the Government, along with representatives of the Ministry of Energy, Gazprom, Rosneft, relevant legislative committees, federal agencies, and regional authorities.

"The topic of regional gasification is a crucial component of the country's socioeconomic development. This area requires special attention. Planning must take into account long-term needs so that work is proactive, as the President stated," noted Alexander Novak.

Particular attention was paid to the progress of gasification in the Siberian Federal District. The government approved a program for gasification in the Siberian Federal District, which will allow for the intensification of socio-economic and industrial projects. The main goal is to eliminate existing infrastructure constraints and ensure reliable supplies for the population and new investment projects.

The primary project aimed at improving the gasification situation in the Siberian regions is the construction of the West Siberian Gas Transmission System (GTS), which will increase gas supply to ensure the possibility of supplying additional volumes of gas to existing and prospective consumers.

"The Russian government has approved the Strategy for the Socioeconomic Development of the Siberian Federal District through 2035. Its implementation plan includes over 100 priority investment projects. Furthermore, the creation of a complex for the advanced processing of rare earth metals is being considered. Around 300 key population centers have also been identified in Siberia, and their infrastructure for residents should be developed at an accelerated pace. Further intensification of development in Siberian territories depends on the pace of accelerated gasification," said Dmitry Patrushev.

It was noted that natural gas has already been supplied to the Altai Territory, Kemerovo, Novosibirsk, Tomsk and Omsk Regions, the Altai Republic, a number of settlements in the Irkutsk Region and the Norilsk Industrial Hub in the Krasnoyarsk Territory.

Currently, there are 117 gas distribution stations operating in the district with a design capacity of 3,400 cubic meters per hour. The gas distribution network extends 32,000 kilometers. Gas consumption is 16.5 billion cubic meters. 782 settlements and over 784,000 apartments and households are supplied with gas.

Additional opportunities to meet the growing gas needs of the Irkutsk Region and Krasnoyarsk Krai will become available with the construction of the Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline.

Under the gas supply and gasification development programs for the period 2026–2030, 16 cities and 143 populated areas are planned to be connected to gas. LNG solutions will be used for a number of populated areas, providing gas to hard-to-reach areas.

Following the meeting, the Ministry of Energy and Gazprom were instructed to explore opportunities to leverage local resources to improve and develop gas supplies to regions within the Siberian Federal District.

Gazprom has been instructed to take measures aimed at signing long-term gas supply contracts with prospective consumers in Siberian regions, as well as to develop gas supply and gasification programs for the constituent entities of the Siberian Federal District for the period 2026–2030, taking into account the needs of new settlements not included in earlier gas supply development programs.

The Ministry of Energy will develop criteria for taking into account potential consumers in the projected gas consumption of regional gasification programs for housing and communal services, industrial and other organizations.

The Siberian Federal District's constituent entities will conduct an inventory of investment projects announced for implementation to update their natural gas supply plans, prioritizing existing gas consumers. Based on the results of this work, appropriate changes will be made to regional gasification programs for housing and utilities and industrial organizations.
