Yakutia and Chukotka to forget about problems with northern provisions delivery

The federal government intends to allocate 358 billion rubles for the development of the Far East in the course of next six years.

258 billion rubles of allocated funds will be directly invested in the Far East development and 100 billion are to be forwarded to the development of Vladivostok , said the minister of economical development and trade.

According to Guerman Gref, the problem of the FE development won't be actually resolved for next six years. However, there will be real breakthrough in the development of regional infrastructure – construction of railways, highways, and power lines.

By 2013 the Far East regions including Yakutia and Kamchatka are going to forget northern provisions delivery, said the minister.
