"Our partners, that are interested in this idea, will work up this project in order to present it at the East Economic Forum" - Sokolov said.

According to his words, today the government has no plans to use state funds for the development of this project. This project requires huge investments, and there is hardly any investor who will invest such huge amounts without an understanding of how the pilot project works. That is why we should present this project as clear as possible.
