Developing the coal industry was the main item on the meeting’s agenda. However, the discussion started with matters related to artificial intelligence, the construction of a high-speed railway from Moscow to St Petersburg, training specialists for using artificial intelligence, and the launch of the new Vostok winter complex in Antarctica.

President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Colleagues, good afternoon.
The main item on today’s agenda deals with energy and developing the key energy sectors, with Sergei Tsivilev, Roman Starovoit and Maxim Reshetnikov as the keynote speakers.
But I suggest that we begin by discussing our current matters. You may have heard that I have just taken part in a session on artificial intelligence as part of a Sber event. In this context, I would like to raise the issue of developing a single service for issuing licences and permits using the e-government services website. We mentioned this topic during our conversation. I know that the Government has been working hard on this agenda.
(Addressing Deputy Prime Minister – Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko) Mr Grigorenko, could you say a few words on this topic, please?
To be continued.
