During the meeting, Putin said, “A unique floating nuclear power plant is planned to be built, which will supply energy to the Baimsky Mining and Processing Plant in Chukotka.” The Russian president stated during a meeting on the development of the fuel and energy complex in the Far East, “Nuclear power plant projects rightly belong to what is called green energy; they produce virtually no carbon footprint. Of course, we must continue to develop this promising field.” He noted that he expects to hear opinions and perspectives on this subject during the meeting.
Putin is visiting Vladivostok today, Thursday, where he held a meeting on the development of fuel and energy complexes in the Far East. Russian President Vladimir Putin inaugurated a number of new infrastructure facilities in the Far East regions via a video link from the National Center “Russia.”
He added, “There is still much to be done. I mean that the Far East constitutes nearly half, or 40%, of the entire area of Russia. There is work to be done.”
The 10th Eastern Economic Forum will be held from September 3 to 6 in Vladivostok, at the Far Eastern Federal University campus. The main theme of this year’s forum is “The Far East – Cooperation for Peace and Prosperity.”
