The meeting will also be attended by Government members and heads of agencies and municipalities.
On the same day, the President will make a working trip to Magnitogorsk, where he will visit sinter plant No. 5, a new facility of Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works. Vladimir Putin will attend the ceremony to launch the sinter plant, and will meet with the plant’s personnel.

The sinter plant is a new facility for making raw materials for blast furnaces. Equipped with energy-saving and environmental technology, the plant is expected to help improve the environmental situation in the city. Construction was launched in 2017 following the signing of a contract with China’s Sinosteel Equipment & Engineering Co., Ltd on the delivery of equipment for the sinter plant.
