Russian President Vladimir Putin has sent a greeting to the participants, organizers and guests of the sixth ‘Arctic: Territory of Dialogue’ international forum, which will be held on March 26 and 27 in Russia’s Arctic zone.
In his greeting, Vladimir Putin noted that the meeting is being held for the first time in Murmansk — a city that could rightly be considered Russia’s gateway to the Arctic.
The Forum will bring together representatives of government bodies, prominent scientists and experts.
Together they will engage in comprehensive discussions on regional security and cooperation, as well as support for ground-breaking projects in energy, infrastructure and environmental protection.
There will also be the opportunity to share views on the potential to implement crucial research and cultural programmes.

“The theme of this year’s Forum, To Live in the North, fully reflects one of our key priorities for the development of the Arctic – the comprehensive renovation and provision of public amenities in cities and towns, the improvement of people’s quality of life," Putin said.

That would be achieved through the creation of modern jobs, economic revival and boosting the social sphere, he explained, adding that the Russian Arctic offers a wealth of opportunities for growth and progress.
"It is a place where the skills and talents of young people can be put to use along with the expertise offered by professionals across various specializations," Putin stressed. "It is a place where bold entrepreneurial, scientific and creative initiatives can be brought to life."
"We are committed to working together with all interested partner nations and intergovernmental organizations in this major endeavour," he assured.
Putin also highlighted the importance of improving the region’s transport network, including the port, railway and aviation sectors, and establishing year-round navigation along the Northern Sea Route.
The Forum business program includes about 20 sessions divided into four thematic tracks: ‘The Arctic and the Northern Sea Route: Competing on the Global Stage’, ‘The Arctic and the Northern Sea Route: A Magnet for Investment’, ‘The Arctic and the Northern Sea Route: Developing Key Settlements’ and ‘International Cooperation and the Environment’.
The business program also includes a joint meeting of the commissions of the State Council of the Russian Federation in the areas of ‘Northern Sea Route and the Arctic’, ‘Efficient Transport System’ and ‘International Cooperation and Export’.
