Putin says waits for Rostec’s breakthroughs in high-tech fields

MOSCOW, Nov 28 (PRIME) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin said late on November 25 he is waiting for breakthroughs from state industrial corporation Rostec in a range of high-tech industries, including electronics.

“Since its creation, Rostec has been in charge of development, manufacture, and export of high-tech products not only of military but also of civil use. It is necessary not only to continue but to work proactively on all the core promising directions providing technological independence of Russia,” Putin said at an event dedicated to the 15th anniversary of the company.

“Certainly, I am waiting for breakthrough results from Rostec in such industries as microelectronics and an electronic component base, aircraft construction, 5G connection equipment, and, on the whole, a more effective search for fulfilment and promotion of national high-tech solutions in all the fields that are important for the progress of our economy, that determine the modern quality of life of the people, that eliminate dependence on foreign supplies.”

The president also said that the maximum loading of plants to meet the army’s needs will be a unique impetus for the development of high-tech industries.
