Vladimir Putin Outlines Russia's Foreign Economic Policy Priorities
Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the newly elected deputies, where he spoke in detail about the country's future foreign economic course. In his speech, the head of state paid special attention to issues of Russia's economic independence and sovereignty in current conditions.
According to the president, Russia does not intend to depend on external factors or ask other states for financial assistance. Vladimir Putin emphasized that the country must rely on its own resources and develop internal potential to ensure stable economic development.
Special attention in the speech was given to abandoning the policy that the president called "going with an outstretched hand." The head of state noted that such an approach is unacceptable for Russia, as the country possesses sufficient capabilities to independently solve the tasks it faces.
In concluding his speech, Vladimir Putin called on the deputies to focus on strengthening the domestic market and supporting domestic producers. In the president's view, it is the development of one's own technologies and industry that will become the key to the country's long-term prosperity and its protection against external economic risks.
