(AGENPARL) - Roma, 12 Aprile 2023(AGENPARL) – KREMLIN mer 12 aprile 2023
On Cosmonautics Day, Vladimir Putin had a working meeting with General Director of the Roscosmos State Corporation for Space Activities Yury Borisov.
President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Mr Borisov, today, on April 12, our
conversation certainly must begin with greetings to you and to everyone working
in the space industry, and even beyond that: to everyone who is in any way
involved in this sphere. Happy Cosmonautics Day. I would like to wish your large
team success in space exploration.
We always say that this work is extremely
important for Russia, for all mankind. These are not just things related to science
fiction, but what we need today: right now, it is needed for the national
economy, for strengthening and improving the country’s defence system. There
are many components that are absolutely in demand today for the development of Russia.
Congratulations again. I wish you
all the best.
Of course, holiday aside, we have a meeting today, so we should discuss the industry’s current state and the development prospects for the coming years.
This year, I think, we even have a little more budgetary funding planned for space activities: last year, it was somewhere
around 224 billion rubles, and this year, it is already more than 251. Revenue
is growing.
And plans, of course; everyone is
always interested in Russia’s plans for this exceptional industry.
Please, go ahead.
To be continued.
