Yegor Borisov attended a meeting with the Russian Security Council Secretary in Krasnoyarsk, where he addressed the issues of transport security in the regions of Siberia and the Far East, including the Arctic zone.

"There is a need to adjust the project to reflect the changes situation in the global markets, in particular, uranium. Some things have to be reviewed. This is an objective picture. However, the projects remain on the agenda, they are supported by the Russian government and all interested parties," said Yegor Borisov.
Summing up the visit to Yakutia of Minister of Agriculture of Russia Nikolai Fyodorov, Yegor Borisov said that his main goal for the country was achieved.

He confirmed that a uniform approach to all regions in the respective programs will be reconsidered. Plus, he fully shares our opinion that the regions that maintain their agriculture should be adequately supported. The size of federal grants to support the reindeer and horse breeding country will increase significantly. We used to get no more than 100-150 million rubles, this year it will be the 800 million".

Yegor Borisov gave a positive estimate to the event, saying that the Forum has established itself as an interesting and useful platform for a dialogue of the talented creative young people of the Far East. "SahaSeliger" is to be held annually.
