None of Russia's development priorities will be forgotten - President Putin
ROSTOV-ON-DON. March 29 (Interfax) - Russian President Vladimir Putin has admitted the possibility of adjusting the country's development plans and programs, but all changes should be made openly and enjoy social support.
"Life can and should prompt us to adjust our plans because life is more diverse and sophisticated than any plans made by people. But even if we decide to make any changes or adjustments, we ought to do so openly and very transparently to all people because only in this case they will be understood and accepted by society," Putin said at the first conference of the National Popular Front in Rostov-on-Don on Friday.
Meetings like today's conference should become regular in order to help the Russian authorities implement all agreements reached during the last election campaign and announced in the president's articles and decrees, he said.
"In this case, none of the set priorities of our state's development will be forgotten, talked around or thrown in the basket despite the multiple problems and difficulties, including factors and uncertainties surrounding the global economy," Putin said.
