Our trend in the privatization process and gradual withdrawal of the state from certain assets remains unchanged.

I am in regular contact with Prime Minister [Shinzo] Abe. We have met several times this year [2016].

We must seek support in the moral values that have ensured the progress of our civilization. Honesty and hard work, responsibility and faith in our strength are bound to bring us success. There should be no place for despondency. The crisis can and must be fought by uniting our intellectual, spiritual and material resources.

One can feel calm and at ease. Just leave kids alone, please.

Prime Minister [Shinzō Abe] and I have spoken a lot, and we said all the right things, in my opinion, about creating an atmosphere of trust and friendship between our nations and peoples.

We would like to draw the attention of our partners, of potential investors to the Russian Far East.

It is no accident that I mention our American friends, as they are always influencing our relations with our neighbors either directly or behind the scenes. Sometimes you don't even know who to talk to - the governments of certain countries or directly to their American patrons.
