MOSCOW, February 9: Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that it is necessary to review the country’s current strategy for scientific and technological development.
“We need to focus our human, financial and infrastructure resources on a clearly defined set of priorities,” Putin said during a meeting of the Science and Education Council, according to the Kremlin.
Putin said that in this sense he considers it necessary to make some modifications to the fundamental document, the National Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development.
According to the president, the strategy was adopted in 2016 and since then the situation has changed.
“We must focus on achieving our national development goals, taking external pressures into account,” Putin said, adding that “this means we must be extremely careful in selecting our scientific and technological priorities.”
