The Arctic is the key geopolitical and geo-economic pole of today and tomorrow, attracting unprecedented global interest, stated Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President of the Russian Federation and Executive Secretary of the Organizing Committee of the VI International Arctic Forum «The Arctic – Territory of Dialogue,» during a press conference.
«Representatives from 21 countries, around 1,300 participants, including delegates from the United States, as well as our European and Asian colleagues, have already taken part in the Forum’s events. It is symbolic that the main Arctic forum is being held in conjunction with the 500th anniversary of a landmark event in the history of Russian Arctic exploration—the drafting of the first project for the Northern Sea Route and the first map of the shores of the Arctic Ocean. Just recently, on March 10, the President of Russia signed a decree establishing an Organizing Committee to prepare for and celebrate this significant date,» Kobyakov emphasized.
«Right now, the Arctic is becoming a land of opportunities for the entire country. Given the restructuring of traditional technological chains and the involvement in large-scale Arctic projects, vast prospects are opening up for enterprises across the country and for creative, innovative individuals. The development of the Northern Sea Route as the main transport artery in the Arctic, along with the construction of new railway links to northern ports, will also have a multiplier effect on the entire nation,» noted Kobyakov.
Russia’s achievements in Arctic development must also be promoted internationally, the presidential advisor stressed.
«At upcoming major international forums, including the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum and the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, the Arctic agenda will be highlighted as a separate block within the business program,» he concluded.
