Putin satisfied with government’s work, few dismissals planned

MOSCOW, Oct 27 (PRIME) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday he is not disappointed with the authorities and is not considering many dismissals, although some lineup renewal is needed.

"There is, of course, no such issue that someone disappointed me in anything and I need to dismantle anything," he said at a plenary session of the Valdai Discussion Club.

The president said he sees the coming decade as the most important one since the World War II. "Now… the historical period of unilateral domination of the West in the global affairs is finishing. The unipolar world is gone. We are at a historical milestone. The most, perhaps, dangerous, unpredictable and at the same time, important decade since the end of the World War II is ahead," he said.

According to Putin, by using the U.S. dollar as a weapon, the West has discredited the idea of a reserve currency system. "Transition to the national currencies in payments will gain momentum. Inevitably. This will, of course, depend on the state of the issuers of currencies, their economic condition, but will gain momentum. And such payments will predominate," Putin said.

Putin accused the West of leading a policy of market and resource takeover.

"Once you open the market for a certain group of goods, that's it, the local producer is put down and it is impossible for it to raise its head. They build relations this way," he said.

He compared the situation with the Russian nuclear power industry allowing different states to develop their research potential.

Russia sees it necessary to launch a mechanism of big spaces based on cooperation between neighboring countries with mutually supplementary economy, the social system, resource base and infrastructure, he said.
