Russian President Vladimir Putin held a regular meeting with Government members in the Kremlin. The localisation of production of machinery and equipment. In other words, the production in Russia, at our enterprises, of high-tech goods necessary for the implementation of national projects. As you know, we plan to make large-scale purchases of medical, construction, computer and telecommunications equipment, the road equipment the Minister talked about, and other equipment totalling over 6 trillion rubles.
Recently, Mr Medvedev and I discussed all these issues together, face to face, and indeed, the state has never before allocated funds for these purposes in such a large-scale, targeted and comprehensive way.
We plan to purchase over 4,700 items of machinery and equipment. Once again I want to repeat: It is important that we rely primarily on domestic producers for these purchases, so that the huge budget funds allocated for these purposes work precisely within the country, for the development of the Russian economy, and provide an additional opportunity to create high-quality, skilled and well-paid jobs in our cities, in the regions as a whole, for the quality growth of high-tech sectors, for the development of business and, very importantly, for the diversification of the defence industry.
We have discussed this topic many times. As you know, overall defence and security allocations have decreased. This is not due to the fact that we are neglecting these issues, but to the fact that we have done the bulk of this work, planned and related to the need to step up our country’s security, the need to replace military equipment and military vehicles.
Production facilities were built, and highly qualified employees are working there. They should move forward, not manufacture pots, as it was in the late 1990s or early 2000s, but produce high-tech equipment and machinery. Therefore, we should order what they can produce and finance this work smoothly.
I am asking you to submit clear, understandable and consistent proposals on expanding defence enterprises’ participation in the implementation of national projects, and also to inform me what legal and organisational decisions are necessary to this end. In general, while the contract campaign is on, we need to take urgent measures to increase the share of Russian-made products in the total volume of orders.
