Putin called 2025 a key year for Russia's technological development

The coming year of 2025 will be a key year for Russia's technological development. This statement was made by Russian President Vladimir Putin on December 5.

"The coming year will be key for launching a new stage of technological development of our country," he said at a meeting of the Council for Strategic Development and National Projects in the Kremlin.

Putin noted that the government discussed the topic of ensuring Russia's technological leadership in a very substantive way. The head of state emphasized that it is necessary to achieve global competitiveness of its solutions in this area and to enter the international arena with them.
