Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation – Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev held a meeting on the implementation of investment projects in the Amur Region. "Today we will discuss how the investment attraction system works in the Amur Region. The region occupies one of the leading places in the Far East in this indicator... It is important that this work does not stop, that investors come to the region to implement new projects. It is the attraction of investments that creates the conditions for all other work, for improvements in the social sphere, for the improvement of cities and territories," Yuri Trutnev opened the meeting. "Over the past five years, about 2.4 trillion rubles of investment have been attracted to the Amur Region. We reached a record volume of over 751 billion rubles last year... Today, 85 promising investment projects are being developed that will attract over 450 billion rubles and create 7.5 thousand new jobs. "Our priority areas remain projects that involve the creation of manufacturing industries... we are planning to build a logistics complex and, in the future, a railway bridge across the Amur River in the “Jalinda-Mohe” area. We have developed and are constantly improving comprehensive support measures for investors," said Vasily Orlov, Governor of the Amur Region. The new cross-border bridge between the Amur Region and China, "Jalinda-Mohe", will open a shorter route to China and shorten the route for transporting goods and raw materials by almost 2,000 km. The new transport corridor will not only provide an alternative option for communication with Russia's main trading partner and relieve the burden on existing crossings, but will also speed up the delivery of raw materials from Yakutia and the north of the Amur Region to China.
