Yuri Trutnev held a meeting on the implementation of investment projects in the region as part of a working visit to the Amur Region
During his working visit to the Amur Region, Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative in the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev got acquainted with the progress of construction of a number of facilities included in the Blagoveshchensk master plan. Among them are the cross-border cable car and the multifunctional pavilion “Tribuna Hall”. The Deputy Prime Minister also held a meeting on the implementation of investment projects in the Amur Region.
Before inspecting the master plan facilities, Yuri Trutnev visited the site of the second stage of construction of engineering structures to protect against flood waters on the Zeya River in the Blagoveshchensk village of Vladimirovka and got acquainted with the progress of construction of the coastal protection structure. The dam is being built as part of the state program “Construction”. The structure will protect the territory, where more than 2 thousand people live, from floods. The site involves 210 people and 91 units of equipment. The work is ahead of schedule.
The management of the contractor company has submitted an initiative to postpone the construction of the dam from 2027 to 2025 with the allocation of the necessary funding for this. Yuri Trutnev instructed the region to work on this issue together with the Ministry of Construction and submit relevant proposals to the Government of Russia.
The Deputy Prime Minister got acquainted with the progress of construction of the Golden Mile facilities, a project within the framework of the integrated development of Blagoveshchensk. The first was the site of the cross-border cable car across the Amur. It will connect Blagoveshchensk and the Chinese city of Heihe. This will be the world’s first cable car between two countries. On the Russian side, a four-level passenger terminal with a total area of 26 thousand square meters will be built to accommodate the terminal station of the cable car, a platform and technological equipment for the cable car, a checkpoint across the state border of Russia, a duty-free shop, restaurants, shopping and entertainment facilities. Art spaces for passengers and city residents to relax will be created both inside the terminal and in the open air: on cascading terraces and observation decks. Work on the international facility is ongoing around the clock in two shifts.
On the instructions of Russian President Vladimir Putin, a world-class Russian-Chinese business cooperation center is being created in the Amur Region. With the support of the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East and the Russian Government, a large city center, Tribuna Hall, is being built. Funds from the federal budget are being allocated through a single presidential subsidy. The construction of the facility has entered the home stretch. The building is 70% complete. The builders should complete the work by January, and the center will welcome its first visitors at the end of next year.
The unique project on the Amur embankment includes a landscape park, a fountain complex, sports and children’s playgrounds. Next to the Tribuna Hall pavilion there is a square – an open space for holding mass events. In May of this year, the Fountain Alley began operating. It belongs to the Tribuna Hall cultural center and has become the largest light and music fountain complex in Eurasia.
On the same day, the Deputy Prime Minister met with investors from the Amur Region. “The region occupies one of the leading places in the Far East in this indicator. At the same time, we must remember that a significant part of this flow is created by fulfilling direct instructions from the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. This is the construction of the Vostochny Cosmodrome, the Amur Gas Processing Plant, and the Amur Gas Chemical Complex. Of course, investment activity is not limited to this. The activity of the head of the region in attracting investment for the Golden Mile projects deserves a positive assessment. These projects will benefit the Amur Region and the country. Federal measures to support projects in the Far East are working. In total, 51 investment projects with a total value of 2.3 trillion rubles are being implemented in the region. 16 projects have been implemented, about 12 thousand jobs have been created. It is important that this work does not stop, and investors come to the region to implement new projects. It is the attraction of investments that creates the conditions for all other work, for improvements in the social sphere, the improvement of cities and territories,” Yuri Trutnev opened the meeting.
“Over the past five years, about 2.4 trillion rubles of investments have been attracted to the Amur Region. We reached a record volume of over 751 billion rubles last year. The main increase in funds attracted to the region was provided by the implementation of gas investment projects, the reconstruction of the Eastern Polygon of the BAM and the development of the construction industry. Today, 85 promising investment projects are being developed that will attract over 450 billion rubles and create 7.5 thousand jobs. Projects that involve the creation of manufacturing industries remain a priority for us. We are implementing the “turn to the East” concept, within the framework of which we plan to build a logistics complex and, in the future, a railway bridge across the Amur River in the Jalinda-Mohe area. We have developed and are constantly improving comprehensive support measures for investors,” said Vasily Orlov, Governor of the Amur Region.
The new cross-border bridge between the Amur Region and China – Jalinda – Mohe will open a shorter exit to China and will reduce the route for transporting goods and raw materials by almost 2 thousand km. The new transport corridor will not only provide an alternative option for communication with Russia’s main trading partner and relieve the load on existing crossings, but will also speed up the delivery of raw materials from Yakutia and the north of the Amur Region to China. “A forecast for the cargo base has been formed for the Jalinda – Mohe project, the location and basic technical parameters of the future bridge have been agreed upon in the course of work with the Chinese side, and a joint conclusion has been made on the technical and economic feasibility of construction. The project has been included in the agenda of the Russian-Chinese subcommittee on cooperation in the field of transport, and there is an agreement to hold interstate consultations. Several models for implementing the project have been considered with the participation of the Russian Ministry of Transport and Russian Railways,” commented Vasily Orlov.
The construction and launch of a mining and processing plant for processing nickel ore from the Kun-Manyo deposit was discussed. The investor will use the capabilities of the Amurskaya priority development area to build the plant. The project is at the stage of geological exploration and design and survey work. More than 1.7 thousand jobs will be created.
Ogodzhinskaya Coal Company LLC presented a project for the development of the Sugodinsko-Ogodzhinskaya coal-bearing area in the Selemdzhinsky District. The investor has begun construction of a processing plant with a capacity of 2 million tons. Investments in the project will amount to about 100 billion rubles. Earthworks and concrete works have already been completed, the main frame of metal structures has been erected, and the completion of the main equipment of the plant is ongoing. The productivity of the complex of factories will be 30 million tons of coal per year. In total, it is planned to build seven processing plants. Construction of the first stage of the Ogodzhinskaya railway continues – 45 km of rails and sleepers out of 72 km have been laid. As a measure of state support, the investor plans to receive the status of a resident of the Amurskaya priority development area.
A resident of the Amurskaya priority development area, the Far Eastern Agroterminal company, will invest more than 40 billion rubles in the framework of comprehensive business development in the Far East, including more than 26 billion rubles in the project to build an oil extraction plant as part of a production and logistics complex in the city of Belogorsk. At present, the site has already been prepared with landfill and water drainage. An industrial railway station with a capacity of 1.4 million tons of freight turnover per year is being built. The launch of production is scheduled for the end of 2026. The company also plans to develop the direction of a railway logistics operator with a fleet of wagons and tanks of 1.2 thousand units of rolling stock in the Far East to service the flow of finished products of the enterprise under construction.
Lyubov Brish, CEO of Gazprom Helium Service, reported on the operation of the first small-tonnage natural gas liquefaction complex in the Amur Region in Svobodnensky District. The new production facility was built using tax breaks and preferences of the Amurskaya Priority Development Area. The natural gas liquefaction complex with a capacity of 1.5 tons of LNG per hour (12.6 thousand tons per year) was created to organize the infrastructure for autonomous gasification of socially significant facilities and to provide consumers in the Amur Region with gas motor fuel. “A comprehensive project has been implemented in the Far East using liquefied natural gas as a gas motor fuel and for autonomous gasification. This became possible thanks to the development of our own production and transportation capacities for LNG in the region – from Primorsky Krai to Amur Region – and successful experience in organizing LNG transportation routes,” Lyubov Brish said.
In Blagoveshchensk, the Specialized Developer PIK Blagoveshchensk LLC is building housing as part of the Far Eastern Quarter program. 334 thousand square meters of housing will be built. In addition to residential development, the project provides for the construction of social infrastructure facilities – a school, kindergartens, and landscaping of courtyards. The total investment in the project will amount to 33.9 billion rubles. Construction and installation work is currently underway in six buildings, the arrangement of foundations and basements has been completed, and work is underway to install the monolithic frame of the buildings of the first stage, the total area of which will be 45.8 thousand square meters.
“Today, the head of the region and I looked at the Golden Mile – work is in full swing there, Blagoveshchensk has begun to change. I always follow this very closely when I come. And I see that the ice has broken in Blagoveshchensk. The city is getting better. This is very important both for the mood and comfortable living of people, and for attracting Russian and foreign tourists,” said Yuri Trutnev.
