Celebration of Rostec’s 15th anniversary

President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Friends,

The Rostec State Corporation was established 15 years ago.

I am happy to congratulate you and all of your colleagues, first of all, workers and team leaders, researchers, engineers, designers and test operators, and all personnel of Rostec enterprises, on this important occasion.

There are thousands of them - highly qualified, unique specialists, some of them are one of a kind, of very different profiles who give their efforts, energy and talent to contribute to the industrial progress of our country and are directly engaged in resolving crucial state tasks in a number of priority high-tech areas.

These include aircraft building, automobile industry, radio electronics, engineering, chemistry, medicine, new materials and, certainly, strengthening Russia's defence capabilities since a significant share of the state defence order goes to Rostec enterprises, our largest corporation in the military-industrial complex.

I should stress that this area and the tangible results it achieves must continue to be among the corporation's unquestionable priorities. It was established for this reason and generally to ensure, concentrate, preserve and thus guarantee the development of our technological, industrial and innovative potential.

I remember the days when the corporation was being established and the way it proceeded. I want to underscore today that the decision of forming such an industrial powerhouse, a flagship of the Russian economy, and concentration of financial and managerial resources have fully justified themselves.

Yet we must keep moving forward, set new tasks and give proper responses to the most complicated challenges in defence and security, and global technological competition.

I am sure you know that the key priority today, our number one task, is to do everything possible to meet the needs of our Armed Forces, and crucially, the units and detachments engaged in the Special Military Operation.

Production must be stepped up as well as deliveries of all required products; the state targeted tasks must be executed strictly on schedule. We spoke about this repeatedly, including yesterday at a meeting of the Russian Government Coordination Council.

Let me reiterate, we will promptly take any decisions to support our enterprises. Meanwhile, we are not doubtful about the people working there. I am absolutely confident of that.

To be continued.
