Meeting with Denis Manturov and Sergei Chemezov 2024-05-11 12:10:00 The Kremlin, Moscow The President held a working meeting with Acting Deputy Prime Minister – Acting Industry and Trade Minister Denis Manturov and CEO of Rostec State Corporation Sergei Chemezov. President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Colleagues. At a recent Government meeting (Mr Manturov was there), I said that we must not allow any interruptions during this transition until we form a new government. Mr Manturov’s area of responsibility is vast and encompasses the entire industrial sector, the defence industry and civilian production. Rostec is involved in a substantial amount of work across the industrial sector. I would like to talk to you about the current operations and short-term plans. I know that a great deal has been achieved; operations are streamlined, and everything works fine. But there are issues that require special attention, and it is something that we will cover today. <…>
