The task for the national and regional authorities is to help the Kamchatka Region move towards long-term strategic development that will ensure new sources of revenue and growing prosperity for the region’s people, President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting on Kamchatka Region’s social and economic development in Vilyuchinsk.
The merger between Kamchatka Region and the Koryak Autonomous District gave the region a new status, and the merger’s objective was precisely to improve the region’s management and give a boost to economic growth, the President said.
Mr Putin said he hoped that the local authorities and the Government would do everything possible to ensure that work to develop the region continues effectively, especially with regard to social issues, the most important of which is to provide people with modern and comfortable housing.
