Mishustin's regional review Far East and Arctic projects

Jun 24

Anna Kurbatova reports Mikhail Mishustin's meeting with Far East and Arctic Development Corporation head Nikolay Zapryagayev. He reports over four thousand projects with fifteen trillion rubles in investor commitments; the reporter says almost half of that money is already at work. The package describes the Pacific Railway, Amur hydrometallurgical technology for double-refractory ore, Udokan copper and Nakhodka methanol projects. It says SIBUR's Amur Gas Chemical Complex received first feedstock from Gazprom's processing plant that day, forming an integrated production chain. Mishustin discusses incentives in priority-development territories, the Kurils, Vladivostok free port and the Arctic, while Zapryagayev describes Kuril investment growth. The report reviews new Far East airport terminals, routes bypassing Moscow and seven million tourists in the previous year, followed by a call to keep attracting investment. It describes ski-resort expansion and the expected Blagoveshchensk–Heihe cable car. Commitments and planned openings remain distinct from reported operating facilities.

During Mishustin's meeting with Zapryagayev, Channel One says airport upgrades were reviewed that day and lists Far East terminals. Passengers describe easier baggage collection and jet bridges. The reporter says more than half of Russian flights now bypass Moscow and connects accessibility with Far East tourism; Zapryagayev cites growth of 42 percent over 2019. These are reported assessments, without proof that every listed terminal opened that day. The full dialogue adds Zapryagayev's list of already operating terminals and Mishustin's direct assessment that the Khabarovsk terminal investor kept an earlier completion promise. Mishustin emphasizes the importance of air services and transport access for residents and visitors. These are the June 24 assessment and retrospective delivery claims, without a common opening date for every listed airport.
