About 300 billion roubles from the National Wealth Fund will be spent on the infrastructure development of Russia’s eastern regions, RF Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev told in his interview to Russia 24 Channel. 

According to him, this money will be mainly spent on the expansion of the Baikal-Amur Railway and the Trans-Siberian Railway. 

“That will allow us to ship cargoes to countries in East Asia and our own remote areas and to develop production there”, Medvedev said.
