Dmitry Medvedev approves NSR Comprehensive Development Project

Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has signed NSR Comprehensive Development Project. According to the press center of RF Government, this was announced by the Prime Minister at the meeting with Vice Prime Ministers held on June 8, 2015.

“It is the shortest route linking Europe with the Far East, Asia-Pacific Region, western part of the North America. To put it mildly, its use is not so hot, I admit. It was used more extensively before,” Dmitry Medvedev said. 

The Prime Minister emphasized that the Northern Sea Route should “enhance our unique transport and logistic advantages, bring money to the budget and, of course, open the way to the mineral resources in the Arctic, Siberia and the Far East, which is of utmost importance”.
