In St. Petersburg, the business program of the VIII International Forum "Arctic: Today and the Future" ended.
Within the framework of the forum, the Association of Polar Explorers signed agreements with the Association of Indigenous Peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East and the Concern Almaz-Antey.
The topics of the Forum discussions covered all areas and current aspects of the development of the Russian Arctic. The discussion was carried through the prism of adopting a law on the development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, mentoring and educating the young generation, developing volunteering and international non-governmental interaction.
The forum brought together all parties interested in the development of the Arctic, who were able to discuss important and sensitive issues in a constructive manner. "This makes it possible to say that the legislative framework regulating activities in the Russian Arctic will be improved," said Yulia Zvorykina, director of the Autonomous non-profit organization Institute for Research and Expertise of Vnesheconombank.
A public exchange of views on this topic set the tone for the entire discussion program of the forum. The draft law on the development of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation must be finalized in such a way that the interests of all participants in the socio-economic processes in the Far North are taken into account. That is why it has not yet been adopted by the State Duma. This was noticed by the first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Regional Policy and the Problems of the North and Far East, Valentina Pivnenko. "We want the draft law on the development of the Arctic zone to be worked out to the maximum and considerate to interests of all those interested in the strong Russian Arctic," Pivnenko said.
