Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said on Friday that new people are required in the government, social sector and economy.
"Today, one of our key goals is to update Russian officials and change the philosophy of public service," Putin said at the International Investment Forum in the Russian Black Sea resort city of Sochi.
"We intend to bring into the government, the economy, politics and social services new people who have already proven that they can act in a constructive logic of transition and are willing to work for the benefit of citizens and the country."
