Minister, Sakhalin governor discuss Kuriles development until 2015
YUZHNO-SAKHALINSK, February 28 (Itar-Tass) -- Russian Minister of
Regional Development Viktor Basargin and Governor of the Sakhalin Region Alexander Khoroshavin met at the Ministry of Regional Development to discuss the priority measures to implement the federal targeted program for socio-economic development of the Kuril Islands until 2015 with due account of a higher program funding and the tasks, which President Dmitry Medvedev had set, a source in the press service of the Sakhalin regional governor told Itar-Tass on Monday.
The Russian government supported the proposals made by the governor of the Sakhalin Region to allocate over 13 billion roubles for additional funding of the federal targeted program.
Thanks to the Kuriles development program positive changes have
already been made on the islands in the social sphere, namely a higher
birth rate, a lower migration outflow, a higher salary and a lower
unemployment rate. "These tendencies should be consolidated," the Sakhalin governor believes.
Dmitry Medvedev earlier stated that the Kuriles development program should be implemented within the deadlines and at the scheduled scale. The islands should continue to develop the infrastructure, provide higher transport accessibility, develop the energy sector and the fisheries industry, create the housing market and etc. The president emphasized that the Kuril islanders should live not worse than people on the mainland and the islands should have clear prospects for development.
