More than 23 billion roubles will be disbursed for the development of the high-tech industries in the period between 2007 and 2011, Russian Minister of Industries and Energy Viktor Khristenko said during Tuesday’s discussion of a strategy for development of the domestic electronic industry.
"Military, information and economic securities determine the primary role of the development of the electronic industry," he said.
"The new strategy, which will be adopted before the yearend, will help Russian high-tech industries to find their own niche on the world market," Khristenko said.
The document envisages the technological upgrading of the production of electronic components and materials, developing of fundamental and applied sciences, personnel training and growing of the sustainable demand on domestic electronic products in the country.
According to the minister, cooperation on the international arena and licensed production of modern hardware components in Russia also will be in the focus.
"Currently, we must admit a critical gap between foreign indices and the indices of this country, which rightfully aspires for worthy economic, military and political positions in the world," Khristenko said.
He also voiced an opinion that the growing share of imported parts in armaments and military hardware is inadmissible for Russia, as "risks are too high."
"By 2015, the Russian share in the deliveries of parts to the defense industry should reach 50 percent," Khristenko said.
