    In the first four months of this year, the capital saw a more than 40 percent increase in the production of chemicals and products compared to the same period in 2024. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry Maxim Liksutov.

    “Companies in the chemical sector produce critically important products that are widely used in the economy of the entire country. On behalf of Sergei Sobyanin, the city provides comprehensive support to plants, thanks to which the capital is actively developing its own technological competencies and increasing the production of high-quality goods, which helps strengthen the independence of the domestic industry. Thus, in the first four months of 2025, the production of chemical products in Moscow increased by 42.8 percent compared to the same period last year,” said Maxim Liksutov.

    In particular, companies began to produce more paints, varnishes and other coating materials, as well as soaps, detergents, cleaning and polishing agents, perfumes and cosmetics.

    “Today, more than 260 industrial companies are involved in the chemical complex of Moscow – these are high-tech enterprises with high social responsibility, which actively implement the principles of sustainable development and care about the environment. Manufacturers regularly improve the quality of their products, which are in demand not only in the capital, but also in other regions of the country, as well as abroad. This is confirmed by the growing volume of shipments. In January – April 2025, it exceeded 103 billion rubles – 38.2 percent more than last year’s figures,” said the Minister of the Moscow Government, head of the capital’s Department of Investment and Industrial Policy

    Anatoly Garbuzov.

    For example, the scientific and production enterprise “Neftekhimiya” produces polypropylene in Moscow – a key component for the production of medical products, reliable packaging, building materials, tableware, kitchen utensils, children’s toys, as well as fibers, threads, non-woven materials and stationery. Today, the plant’s product line includes about 60 different brands of polymer.

    The medical and cosmetic company “Geltek-Medika” produces gels for medical research, as well as highly effective cosmetics for home care and hardware cosmetology.

    A comfortable investment climate has been created in Moscow to develop production potential. More than 20 comprehensive support measures are available to enterprises. These include preferential investment loans, the opportunity to lease land from the city at a preferential rate when building an enterprise as part of large-scale investment projects, the assignment of special statuses, and other tools.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: 35 new houses will receive convenient access roads under the renovation program

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    This year, specialists from the city services complex will build convenient access roads to 35 buildings under the renovation program. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing and Public Utilities and Improvement Petr Biryukov.

    “Work is planned on local arrangement and expansion of access roads to 35 houses that were built as part of the renovation program. In the east, 10 such roads will appear, in the Southern, South-Eastern and North-Western administrative districts – five each, in the South-West and North – three each, two in the Western and one each in the North-Eastern district and Zelenograd. Work is already underway at 16 sites,” noted Pyotr Biryukov.

    The construction of residential buildings under the renovation program is taking place not only on starting sites in areas of existing development, but also on the site of demolition of previously vacated houses. Yard areas designed more than 60 years ago are often not suitable for the passage of construction and modern fire-fighting equipment. The arrangement of access roads helps to solve this issue, subsequently they are included in the transport system of the districts. All objects have their own configuration, they have different widths of the roadway and sidewalks.

    In total, about 10 kilometers of roads will be built, with a total area of almost 63 thousand square meters, with a roadway width of six meters. The width of the new sidewalks will be on average 1.2 meters, their total length will be about 23 kilometers, the area – about 27 thousand square meters.

    The head of the city economy complex emphasized that an important component of comfort and safety is good lighting. When arranging access roads to the renovation sites, almost 230 lanterns with energy-efficient lamps will be installed. Overhead lines will be transferred to cable ducts.

    The projects include laying out almost 60 thousand square meters of lawn and planting additional trees and shrubs.

    Renovation program approved in August 2017. It concerns about a million Muscovites and provides for the resettlement of 5,176 houses.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Sobyanin announced the inclusion of 50 objects in the Unified Register of Cultural Heritage

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    The Unified Register of Cultural Heritage Sites in Moscow has been expanded with 50 architectural monuments. This was reported in its telegram channel Sergei Sobyanin reported.

    “We continue to work on preserving the historical memory of our city. 50 objects have been entered into the Unified Register of Cultural Heritage of Moscow. Among them are buildings that are associated with the fates of famous people and significant events,” the Mayor of Moscow wrote.

    Source: Sergei Sobyanin’s Telegram channel @mos_sobyanin 

    The register now contains 3,833 historical buildings and structures. All monuments are under state protection. Their owners and tenants are obliged to ensure the preservation of cultural heritage sites and maintain them in accordance with the approved subject of protection.

    The building of the Hermitage Theatre (Karetny Ryad Street, Building 3, Building 1)

    Among the 50 objects included in the register is the Hermitage Theatre building.

    The history of this building in the Hermitage Garden dates back to December 16, 1894, when the famous Moscow patron and theater figure Yakov Shchukin founded the New Hermitage Theater. In 1897, Savva Mamontov’s private opera performed there. Famous performances were also staged here, one of them being Faust with Fyodor Chaliapin.

    On October 14, 1898, the premiere performance of the Art and Public Theatre of Konstantin Stanislavsky and Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko (the future Moscow Art Theatre) took place on the stage of the New Hermitage Theatre — Tsar Fyodor Ioannovich with Ivan Moskvin in the leading role. The premiere of Anton Chekhov’s play Three Sisters also took place in this theatre.

    In 1913, the Free Theatre opened here under the direction of Konstantin Mardzhanov and Alexander Sanin. In the 1920s, director Sergei Eisenstein staged the play “The Mexican”, his first theatrical production, on its stage. Then the Mossovet Theatre settled in the Hermitage.

    In 1978, a young director, Mikhail Levitin, began working here and later became its permanent artistic director. Thanks to him, the theater’s repertoire changed from variety to drama, and the stage hosted performances based on the works of Daniil Kharms for the first time.

    The building retained its architectural appearance, which was formed in the 1950s – then it was reconstructed according to the design of architects Mikhail Posokhin and Ashot Mdoyanets. The main façade was decorated with a double colonnade and crowned with a triangular pediment.

    When included in the register of cultural heritage sites in Moscow, the decorative design of the building’s facades will be included in the subject of protection.

    Apartment building of A.V. Krasnogorova – Blinovs (Starosadsky Lane, Building 10, Building 1)

    Now it is a residential building, standing on the corner of Starosadsky Lane and Zabelina Street. The building was erected in two stages. In the 1880s, merchant Akulina Krasnogorova built a two-story apartment building. In 1900, its new owner, merchant Ivan Blinov, who sold candles and incense, added four floors to the building.

    During World War I, the Moscow branch of the Jewish Committee for Aid to War Victims who had fled from their places of settlement in the western provinces was opened here. During the Soviet era, the apartments of the former apartment building were compacted and converted into communal housing.

    In the 1920s and early 1930s, Osip Mandelstam lived in the first entrance in apartment 3 with his brother Alexander. At that time, the poet created several works, and the hero of one of the poems (“Alexander Gertsevich Lived…”) was his neighbor in the communal apartment, amateur pianist Alexander Bekkerman. Mandelstam was visited here by Anna Akhmatova, Arseny Tarkovsky and Boris Klyuyev.

    Mandelstam’s entrance and its ceremonial decoration with stucco, twisted staircase railings, and Mettlach tiles have survived to this day. This house is the poet’s only surviving address in Moscow. There is now a park in front of the building and a monument to Mandelstam.

    When included in the register of cultural heritage sites of Moscow, the subject of protection will include the design of the building’s facades and the first entrance, the fence with a gate and the gatehouse.

    Decorations of the Sofia Embankment: Which Houses Became Cultural Heritage SitesObjects of the old estate in the Yakimanka district are recognized as architectural monuments

    Kokorevskoe Podvorye (Sofia Embankment, Building 34, Building 1)

    This is a unique architectural complex built by order of the famous entrepreneur and philanthropist Vasily Kokorev. The courtyard became the first business center in Russia, combining a luxury hotel with restaurants, shops and warehouses.

    The construction of the courtyard began in 1860 on the site between Sofiyskaya and Bolotnaya embankments, opposite the Kremlin. The project was developed by the architect Ivan Chernik, and the construction was supervised by Anton Bulgarin. The courtyard included seven buildings, including a hotel with 315 rooms, shops, warehouses, a reading room, and a restaurant.

    The hotel building was equipped with the latest technology of the time: steam elevators, oven heating, telegraph and water supply. Technical innovation was combined with the expressive architecture of the hotel in the Russian style, which echoed the appearance of the Kremlin. One of the most striking details of the hotel was the openwork cast-iron gallery with a balcony on elegant pillars, stretching along the entire main facade of the building, facing the Sofiyskaya Embankment.

    The Kokorevskoe Podvorye became the most modern and fashionable hotel in Moscow of its time. In the summer of 1866, a delegation from the United States Congress was accommodated here, having arrived in Russia on an official mission of sympathy regarding the assassination attempt on Emperor Alexander II. This visit was widely covered in the press and was an important stage in strengthening Russian-American relations after the end of the American Civil War.

    At various times, the hotel was home to artists Ivan Kramskoy and Vasily Polenov, and writer Dmitry Mamin-Sibiryak. In 1867, Leo Tolstoy stayed here. In addition, Pyotr Tchaikovsky visited here many times during his visits to Moscow.

    During the Soviet period, the building was used by various departments, and in the first half of the 20th century, several floors were added to it, which changed its historical appearance.

    In 2015–2017, a large-scale restoration was carried out: the architectural decoration of the building and its main decoration, the cast-iron gallery, were restored. The work performed was highly praised: the building became a laureate of the Moscow Government’s “Moscow Restoration” competition.

    When included in the register of cultural heritage sites of Moscow, the subject of protection will include the architectural design of the facades at the level of the first four floors and the cast-iron gallery with a balcony.

    Apartment building of Princess A.P. Golitsyna (Bolshaya Nikitskaya Street, Building 24/1)

    The building is located at the intersection of Bolshaya Nikitskaya Street and Khlynovsky Tupik. Since the end of the 18th century, Bolshaya Nikitskaya Street has become a place popular with the nobility, as can be judged by the number of noble estates built on it at that time.

    Manor life did not involve any business activity, but in 1836 the owner of the plot was Princess Alexandra Golitsyna, who was one of the first nobles to decide to use her land to generate income. In 1839, a four-story apartment building with retail space on the ground floor was built specifically for this purpose according to the design of the architect Mikhail Bykovsky, the author of a number of large buildings in Moscow, including the Sheremetev House on Vozdvizhenka.

    The building has retained its original configuration and facade design from the first third of the 19th century. During the Soviet era, only the balconies were lost. The design of the fourth floor is interesting: the severity of the rectangular windows is slightly smoothed out by pilasters with molded capitals, and the side windows have an arched finish. The crowning cornice of the large projection on brackets also attracts attention.

    In the 1860s, the Moscow Conservatory was opened on Bolshaya Nikitskaya Street. The proximity of the apartment building to the music school explains why Pyotr Tchaikovsky lived here in 1877, working on the opera Eugene Onegin at the time. This house became the composer’s last refuge in his homeland.

    Another creative name is associated with the A.P. Golitsyna apartment building. In the 1880s, the building housed the studio of fashionable dressmaker Olga Suvorova, who ran a school of cutting and sewing. The future famous couturier Nadezhda Lamanova studied there. Here she also opened a small tailoring establishment — her first work address.

    When the apartment building of Princess A.P. Golitsyna is included in the register of cultural heritage sites of Moscow, the design of the street facades, the vaults in the basement and the cast-iron staircase will be included in the subject of monument protection.

    House of the architect S.M. Goncharov (Trekhprudny Lane, Building 2a)

    The building on the corner of Trekhprudny and Bolshoy Palashevsky Lanes is the mansion of the famous Moscow Art Nouveau architect Sergei Goncharov, which he built on his family plot in 1885.

    Situated near Patriarch’s Ponds, the house stands out for its original design of the main façade, which combines features of two architectural styles – eclecticism and Art Nouveau. The classical portico above the main entrance and rusticated platbands are adjacent to square semi-columns of window openings on the upper floors, interpreted in the spirit of the new era.

    The owners of the house, the Goncharovs, moved to Moscow in 1891 from their estate in the Tula province. Sergei Goncharov’s genealogy is interesting: he was related to Natalia Pushkina – his great-grandfather was her father.

    However, the house is famous not only for Sergei Goncharov and his ancestors. It became the studio of two famous avant-garde artists at once – Natalia Goncharova (the architect’s daughter) and her husband Mikhail Larionov, as well as a kind of center of cultural life, where the entrepreneur and philanthropist Sergei Diaghilev, artists Aristarkh Lentulov, Ilya Mashkov, Pyotr Konchalovsky and others visited.

    The house on Trekhprudny Lane remained a studio until 1915. Avant-garde artists created many famous works, including the paintings “Resting Soldier”, “Spring. From the “Seasons” Cycle”, “Still Life with Pineapple”, and “Emptiness” kept in the Tretyakov Gallery.

    After the return of the wounded Mikhail Larionov from the fronts of the First World War, the family left for Paris forever at the invitation of Sergei Diaghilev to work on the Russian Seasons.

    When the house of the architect S.M. Goncharov is included in the register of cultural heritage sites of Moscow, the design of the street façade will be included in the subject of monument protection.

    BEIJING, June 18 (Xinhua) — China’s space endeavors are creating a platform for broader international cooperation, the State Council Information Office said at a press conference on Tuesday.

    Li Yingliang, head of the General Technology Department of the China Manned Space Program Office, told reporters that China’s space station will make significant discoveries related to fundamental and cutting-edge questions such as the origin of life, the evolution of the universe and the structure of matter.

    This will effectively promote innovative development in human space science, space technology and space utilization, he said, adding that China’s space endeavors represented by the space station and manned lunar exploration will provide a greater platform for broader international cooperation.

    During the press conference, four space experts and astronaut Fei Junlong shared their experiences and opinions on the domestic manned space program.

    Sun Wei, deputy chief designer of the program’s landing system, noted that China is building more TT ground stations

    Sun Wei noted that China, in turn, is a member of several international organizations, including the International Telecommunication Union and the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems. This TT expert

    “Every time I flew into space, I looked back at the Earth, the common home of mankind, through the window of the spacecraft,” said astronaut Fei Junlong. “I can imagine that my colleagues from abroad do the same during their space flights,” he said. Fei Junlong is a former commander of the Shenzhou-6 and Shenzhou-15 missions and the first astronaut to conduct an extravehicular activity after the completion of China’s space station.

    Fei Junlong called space exploration and development “a common mission of mankind” and invited astronauts from around the world to visit China’s space station.

    Tashkent, June 18 /Xinhua/ — Intensification of relations between Uzbekistan and China is a requirement of the times, said Bakhodir Ismailov, head of the sector of the Institute of Legislation and Legal Policy under the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, in an interview with Xinhua.

    He noted that for over 30 years, Uzbekistan and China have been continuously strengthening political mutual trust and developing bilateral relations based on the principles of equality, friendship, good neighborliness, mutual support, mutual benefit, respect and consideration of each other’s interests. Cooperation is developing especially actively today, when the countries are demonstrating confident growth rates, the expert added.

    According to B. Ismailov, Chinese diplomacy invariably stands on the side of international justice, resolutely opposes hegemony, actively promotes the formation of a fair and orderly multipolar world, as well as inclusive economic globalization.

    Chinese-Uzbek friendship has been growing stronger over the years, and the prospects for cooperation between the two countries are expanding, the agency’s interlocutor emphasized. Uzbekistan is actively participating in the Belt and Road initiative launched by China in 2013, he noted.

    With the election of Shavkat Mirziyoyev as President of Uzbekistan in 2016, Uzbek-Chinese cooperation entered a trajectory of more dynamic development, B. Ismailov said. This is facilitated by both regular political dialogue at the highest level and the established friendly and trusting relations between the leaders of the two countries, the expert added.

    Active dialogue maintained at the intergovernmental, interparliamentary and interdepartmental levels also plays a key role in deepening multifaceted cooperation, the scientist said.

    The Central Asia-China format at the level of heads of state has become a new platform for interaction, B. Ismailov emphasized, adding that following the first summit of the leaders of the Central Asian countries and China, held in May 2023, the Xi’an Declaration was signed, which established the institutional basis for deepening cooperation in the new format.

    He noted that China and Uzbekistan have consistently supported each other on issues affecting core interests, jointly uphold genuine multilateralism, promote common values, and make active contributions to maintaining stability in the world and the region. –0–

  • MIL-OSI Russia: During the holidays, Moscow schoolchildren will master the basics of sailing

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    Summer educational shifts have begun at the Moscow City Children’s Maritime Center named after Peter the Great. Here, young city residents learn about the history of shipbuilding and maritime affairs and learn to operate boats and yachts. This was reported by the press service of the capital’s Department of Education and Science.

    “Every summer, the Hermes Children and Youth Creativity Development Center organizes educational shifts on the shore of the Khimki Reservoir. Under the guidance of experienced teachers, children learn the basics of sailing: they learn to steer ships, use maps and satellite systems, recognize signs of weather changes, and effectively interact with team members. It is planned that more than a thousand schoolchildren will attend the shifts this summer,” the department’s press service noted.

    During classes, schoolchildren learn to determine the direction and strength of the wind, use a life jacket and provide first aid, and also get acquainted with the structure of lifeboats and master rowing on boats Yal-6, Yal-4, Sava 470 and control of the yacht “Optimist”. For teenagers from 15 to 17 years old, a separate program has been prepared for the control of a small vessel. This will allow them to pass the exam to obtain a license immediately upon reaching adulthood.

    “The most important thing that children learn is to communicate with each other. This skill is transferred to the shore, to school. Children become more relaxed. As practice shows, they are also more physically prepared: after all, we have strength-based exercises, such as rowing,” said Mikhail Turevich, a teacher at the Peter the Great Moscow City Children’s Marine Center.

    During classes, schoolchildren construct ship models using drawings that they request from archives if necessary. The children also complete quests, go on excursions to museums, and participate in quizzes, sports competitions, and creative contests.

    Summer shift programs are available for children aged seven to 17. You can register on the website of the Center for the Development of Children and Youth Creativity “Hermes”.

    More information about additional education in the capital is available in Telegram channels “Moscow education” And“Moscow Center for Educational Practices”.

    Supplementary education programs develop creative and critical thinking in schoolchildren and form skills for a future profession. The events held within the framework of these initiatives contribute to the project “All the best for children” of the national project “Youth and Children”.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Teach independence and reveal talents: how the best teachers of Moscow work with modern schoolchildren

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    Aleksandr Odzho was predicted to have a career as a diplomat, Elizaveta Bogatyreva wanted to become a teacher since childhood, and Pavel Sibiryakov came to the system of additional education from the theater stage. But they are all united by their victory in the Moscow City Professional Competition of Pedagogical Excellence and Public Recognition “Teachers of the Year in Moscow”, the results of which were summed up at the end of May. Teachers, educators, psychologists, defectologists, speech therapists, young specialists and teachers of additional education competed in six nominations. The winners and prize-winners will become mentors in their profession, and their methods will be used by colleagues.

    mos.ru correspondents talked to the best teachers in Moscow about modern children, learned how schools are changing, what opportunities there are for revealing students’ talents, and how technology helps with this.

    The Trial of Ivan the Terrible and Historical Dishes

    Alexander Odzho, the winner in the nomination “Teacher of the Year of Moscow”, had every chance to become a diplomat, journalist, actor. But the choice was made in favor of a teacher. But in this profession he successfully combines the ability to master words, and artistry, and diplomacy. Today Alexander Odzho teaches history, social studies, music and the basics of spiritual and moral culture of the peoples of Russia inschool #854 in Zelenograd.

    “The outstanding innovative teacher Vasily Sukhomlinsky has always been an example for me. Just like him, I believe that a child should always be given the right to choose and respected as an individual. Of course, since Sukhomlinsky’s time, the school education system has changed a lot, many new opportunities have appeared, but the teacher’s tasks have remained the same – to provide all the conditions for the development of children’s abilities and talents. Due to the development of the Internet, students’ attention quickly evaporates today, so lessons should be dynamic, with different types of activities. Visits to museums, excursions, videos and paintings by artists dedicated to historical subjects help study the events of the past. There are many such materials in

    “Moscow Electronic School”, and we constantly turn to them. History can even be “tasted”, for example, by preparing a dish described in books or archival documents,” notes Alexander Odzho.

    In the nomination “Moscow Teacher of the Year”, Alexander Odzho became the best among 437 participants. Earlier, he took second place in the nomination “Pedagogical Start” of the competition “Moscow Teachers of the Year” and reached the final of the Russian TV show “Class Topic”.

    “I dreamed of such a result since my student years, but I considered it unattainable. However, the management, colleagues and family supported me in everything. We filmed a fragment of a lesson for the selection round, then there was an interview with experts, a public speech on how to take care of yourself and others. At the master class, I showed my developments on how to teach a child to ask questions. This is an important point in pedagogy. In my lessons, I use such formats as discussion debates, conferences, round tables or a historical trial. At the last “session”, my students and I looked at the state administration of Ivan the Terrible. The class was divided into lawyers and prosecutors, who had to operate with facts. And everyone made their own verdict,” says Alexander Odzho.

    Now the teacher is preparing for the all-Russian stage of the “Teacher of the Year of Russia” competition and for the publication of his two books. One of them is dedicated to the development of domestic medicine, and the second – to the history of Russia in diagrams and tables.

    Mind Maps and Mail with Pockets

    Elizaveta Bogatyreva works as a teacher inschool No. 236 named after Hero of the Soviet Union G.I. Shchedrin in the Dmitrovsky district with groups of children aged three to seven years. She chose her profession as a teenager: she took care of her younger brother and felt a calling to work with children. Two years ago, Elizaveta Bogatyreva won the Pedagogical Start nomination of the Moscow Teachers of the Year competition, and recently won the title of Moscow Educator of the Year, showing the best results among 409 participants.

    “The main task of the teacher is to teach children independence. For this, various methods and teaching aids are used. With the little ones, we study new words and phenomena using a mind map. In the center of the diagram, we briefly write down the topic, for example, “What do we know about dinosaurs.” Then we mark with arrows how we will develop it: we will make figures, put books about dinosaurs in the reading corner, ask parents what the difference is between predatory and herbivorous species. Another tool is a question tree. We write down on its leaves what interests the children, and then look for answers. All problems in the group are also brought up for discussion. Children offer their ideas, we form rules, write them down and hang them on the board. We also have a post office: each child has their own pocket on a special stand. The children put notes and gifts in them,” says Elizaveta Bogatyreva, a teacher at School No. 236.

    In her work with children, the mos.ru interviewee uses a playful approach. Thus, in the fall, Elizaveta Bogatyreva’s students made costumes of different animals and prepared for winter: they built burrows from construction sets and blankets, prepared supplies, the “predators” hunted, and the “herbivores” gathered forage.

    At one of the stages of the competition, Elizaveta Bogatyreva held a master class for teachers, where she showed her version of a literary hero’s diary of emotions.

    “I believe that it is important to instill an interest in reading from an early age, so we analyze the feelings and actions of characters in literary works. At the competition, I introduced my development to my colleagues, and as part of the selection round, I presented a video with a fragment of the lesson. At other tests, I answered questions from the field of school education, revealed the connection between humans and artificial intelligence, and demonstrated rapid response skills in the format of a press conference. Winning such a significant competition became a new point of personal growth for me and confirmation of my professional qualities. Now the main task is to worthily represent Moscow at the “Educator of the Year of Russia” competition, which will be held in September,” says Elizaveta Bogatyreva.

    The most devoted fans are the students

    In the nomination “I give my heart to children”, having beaten 319 participants, the best was Pavel Sibiryakov, a teacher of additional education from the center for the development of creativity of children and youth “Hermes” in the Dmitrovsky district. Five years ago, he founded the theater studio “Nachalo” in the center, today more than 250 children aged six to 18 study there.

    “I came to the profession from the theater and today I combine teaching with acting. Being a theater teacher is not that easy: it is the work of a mentor, director and scriptwriter at the same time. An individual approach is important here. When we staged the play “The Nose” based on the story by Nikolai Gogol, I entrusted the main role – Kovalev – to the most shy student. He coped with it well, and this experience influenced his character: the student became more relaxed and self-confident, made friends with other children. For modern teenagers who are used to communicating on the Internet, the theater teaches live interaction, empathy, they mature, become more responsible,” says Pavel Sibiryakov.

    Pavel Sibiryakov has developed warm, trusting relationships with the students of the theater studio. The young actors share with him not only their creative experiences, but also their personal ones. And when the teacher took part in a competition, the children became his most devoted support group.

    “My students were very worried about me, wrote encouraging messages, sent videos, watched the live broadcast of the award ceremony together. It was my first time participating in such a serious competition and I did it primarily so that the children could be proud of their mentor and strive for more. I was also glad to meet my colleagues, and with some of them — to make friends. In the second round, having split into teams, we designed a residential area with a focus on educational infrastructure from a construction set, and in the final I held a master class with the cadets: I showed how to do a speech warm-up and diction exercises,” Pavel Sibiryakov shares.

    The teacher is currently preparing for the All-Russian stage of the competition and has already filmed a welcome video for it.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Entrepreneur hands over humanitarian aid to SVO fighters

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    The owner of a furniture shopping center located in the North-West Administrative District of Moscow has sent humanitarian parcels to the special military operation (SVO) zone more than once. Together with his employees, he managed to collect comprehensive aid — from instant drinks to blankets.

    “My friends communicate directly with the special operation fighters, and through them I learned what is needed at the front now. My friends gave me a list, and my colleagues and I bought everything our guys asked for directly from it,” Oleg shared.

    The valuable cargo was divided into clothing and food. The first included seasonal clothing, including regular and thermal underwear, as well as footwear, sleeping bags, comfortable pillows and warm blankets. All of these items are in great demand on the front lines.

    The entrepreneur also sent long-life food products and a large number of packages of tea and coffee. Food products for the military must have a long shelf life and be in sufficiently strong packaging to be guaranteed to withstand transportation in difficult conditions. Then the soldiers will receive everything safe and sound.

    The entrepreneur noted that he will help our heroes as long as it is necessary. You need to ask your friends what exactly to buy – this way the soldier will get warm comfortable boots that will serve him for a long time.

    Since the first days of the SVO, owners of Moscow stores, shopping centers, car dealerships and other service establishments, as well as Moscow restaurateurs, have regularly sent humanitarian aid to the combat zone. The parcels contain products that have a long shelf life: canned meat, fish and vegetables, tons of different cereals – from rice and buckwheat to pearl barley, pasta and sweets: cookies, candies, chocolate and much more. Entrepreneurs donate personal hygiene products and seasonal clothing, among which you can find jackets, boots and thermal underwear, as well as essential medicines, building materials and even military equipment, including quadcopters and entire columns of cars.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: More than 108 thousand young Muscovites attended educational days at the museum

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    Last academic year, over 108 thousand schoolchildren took part in the project “School Day at the Museum”. Young Muscovites attended over 4.2 thousand educational classes. This was reported by the press service of the capital’s Department of Education and Science.

    “The “School Day at the Museum” project allows students in grades 1-11 to attend educational lessons at cultural institutions, where they study school subjects and complete various assignments. This format helps to better absorb the material and practice research skills. The project unites more than 40 different sites in city, federal, departmental and private museums. Among the most popular in the past academic year were the Cosmonautics Museum, the Moscow Zoo, the Tsaritsyno Museum-Reserve, the State Sports Museum and the State Museum of the Defense of Moscow,” the department’s press service reported.

    More than 250 interactive lessons in all subjects have been developed for students in grades 1–11. More than 110 of them can be used online. For example, in a math lesson at the Cosmonautics Museum, fourth-graders learn how Yuri Gagarin landed, down to the mileage and time. They determine at what altitude and for how long the cosmonauts can find themselves in zero gravity on board the laboratory aircraft. Young researchers also analyze infographics from the Soyuz-Apollo program to build a chronology of the crews’ flights. And in a chemistry lesson at the State Sports Museum, eighth-ninth-graders study the properties of metals and alloys from which sports awards from different years are made.

    Each school day has three to five lessons taught by school subject teachers. They use materials developed by museum staff and specialists from the Institute for the Development of Specialized Education at the Moscow City Pedagogical University.

    Elizaveta Illarionova, a sixth-grader at School No. 2087 Otkrytie, said that this year she attended study days at the Timiryazev State Biological Museum and the Cosmonautics Museum. She liked the biological museum the most because she loves biology and wants to become an anesthesiologist in the future. Elizaveta noted that there was a large exposition with plants and animals, and they also carried out interesting tasks. The children compared the characteristics of various fungi and bacteria, looked for answers to questions in the halls, redrew tree bark and found out what it was needed for. According to the schoolgirl, it was as dark as space in the Cosmonautics Museum. She remembered the models of asteroids and rockets, as well as the story of the launch of the first artificial satellite and animal flights.

    New sites regularly join the project. This year, its participants included the Borodino Battle Panorama Museum, the State Archives of the Russian Federation, the Alfred Mirek Museum of Russian Accordion, and the Radio and Television Museum of the Interactive Polytechnic Museum Dedushkin Attic.

    “The “School Day at the Museum” project allows schoolchildren to leave the formal environment for an informal one, learn to work in a team and expand their horizons with the help of the educational opportunities of Moscow museums. Every year, new sites join the project, which are able to give children an interesting experience in studying school subjects. This format allows for the best use of the museum exposition opportunities to achieve subject results, familiarize themselves with the rich history and culture of our country, and effectively use the socio-cultural space of the capital in the educational activities of schoolchildren,” the press service noted.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: The Fast Treasury Payments service has launched in Moscow

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    The “Fast Treasury Payments” service has been launched in Moscow in the public procurement system. This is one of the important stages in the development of a technological platform for managing public finances, reported Elena Zyabbarova, Minister of the Moscow Government, head of the capital’s Department of Finance. The purpose of the service is to robotize operations in settlements under government contracts within the framework of treasury services.

    The Fast Treasury Payments project was implemented as a result of combining in a single circuit data from a single automated information system for trades, a supplier portal, an automated information system for managing the budget process, a single accounting system, and a single information system in the sphere of public procurement. This made it possible to synchronize the processing of data on government contracts from the moment they are concluded until payment and to make payments automatically.

    “The service has improved the quality of services for clients – contractors and suppliers – recipients of budget funds. It has made it possible to automate and speed up the execution of routine operations by employees of financial services of capital organizations and the city treasury on the formation of payment documents, their verification and approval of payment of monetary obligations of city executive authorities and institutions subordinate to them,” Elena Zyabbarova emphasized.

    Every year, Moscow treasurers process over 1.7 million payment orders for concluded contracts. Their validity is checked and payment is authorized manually and can take up to one day. On average, over 44 thousand documents are returned to suppliers and contractors for revision due to improper preparation. And the labor costs associated with the execution of payment orders reach almost 200 thousand man-hours per year.

    In the “Fast Treasury Payments” service, data is generated immediately upon signing a contract. During execution, the system automatically checks the compliance of its terms with electronic acts on acceptance of goods, works and services. Based on this data, the service independently creates a draft payment order. It is signed by the customer, and the documents are transferred to the Moscow City Treasury, where automatic verification and authorization of payment occurs. At the same time, data on the settlements made and information on the execution of the contract are received in the unified procurement information system.

    Elena Zyabbarova added that the service had been operating in test mode for over six months. The quality check was successful, and today everything is ready for its implementation in the system of execution of state contracts. The test results showed that “Fast Treasury Payments” allow to significantly increase the efficiency of settlements due to the robotization of standard operations and reduction of the number of errors. The number of payment documents returned by the treasury for revision has noticeably decreased. The labor costs of contractors and suppliers – recipients of budget funds associated with their preparation have decreased by 75 percent. The average time of automatic verification of payment details, contract parameters and payment approval was about seven seconds. The emergence of the service will allow to conduct all operations on state contracts concluded by executive authorities and institutions under the 44th federal law and financed from the Moscow budget, in automatic mode.

    The use of the project has shown that the tools underlying the service can be scaled. The Moscow Department of Finance plans to implement it in the processes of providing subsidies and grants to state and non-state organizations.

    The project is an important stage in the development of the city procurement system, which involves a complete transition to digital contracts and automation of all stages of their execution. The functionality of “Fast Treasury Payments” is being implemented by the Moscow Department of Finance together with Department of Information Technology capitals and Main Control Directorate cities.

    Information on the development of budget management technologies in Moscow can be found in telegram channel Department of Finance of Moscow and on the portal “Open Budget of the City of Moscow”.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Capital manufacturers have created high-tech developments for laser marking

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    Moscow is a leading center for the development of high-tech industry in Russia. Moscow companies demonstrate a high level of competence, creating competitive technological developments for laser marking. This was reported by the Minister of the Moscow Government, head of the capital’s Department of Investment and Industrial Policy Anatoly Garbuzov.

    “The development of domestic laser products in industry is of key importance for technological independence and competitiveness. Laser technologies are actively used in mechanical engineering, microelectronics, medicine and other industries, ensuring high precision and efficiency of production processes. Today, there are more than 260 enterprises operating in the mechanical engineering sector of Moscow. The city provides them with over 20 comprehensive support tools – from preferential investment loans to assigning special statuses. Enterprises from various industries can use them. The high demand for the developments of Moscow companies proves their ability to meet the key needs of the industry,” noted Anatoly Garbuzov.

    For example, the leading capital manufacturer of laser equipment, the Lassard company, which is based at the Pechatniki production site of the Technopolis Moscow special economic zone, presented a new product – an ultraviolet laser engraving machine for cold marking of sensitive materials: plastic, glass, thin metals. After the presentation of the equipment, the company received five pre-orders. The company continues to increase production. Since the beginning of the year, 21 laser engraving machines have been manufactured – this is eight units more than for the same period in 2024. This year, it is planned to expand the range by producing 3D laser engraving units and special machines for the aerospace industry. The company has been operating in the special economic zone since 2023. During this time, it has produced more than 100 units of innovative products, which are supplied to all regions of Russia.

    Thanks to advanced labeling solutions, Moscow-based technological equipment company Callisto has implemented a comprehensive equipment package for a new soft drink plant. This was done using a system for directly applying Data Matrix codes to drink caps, as well as a laser machine for marking aluminum caps, which allows for marking on a separate production line before the finished product is capped. Both solutions ensure high speed and quality of marking without affecting the technological process.

    “We are proud to participate in such a large-scale project. Our systems were developed by Russian engineers and ensure uninterrupted marking even at maximum load of production lines,” said the company’s CEO Pavel Bulgakov.

    The introduction of advanced labeling solutions has become part of the complex technological equipment of the enterprise. The plant is highly automated: the frontal storage warehouse for finished products is robotized, and the production lines are serviced by five employees. The production complex was built from scratch exclusively using funds from Russian investors, without attracting foreign capital. The volume of investment in the construction and equipment of the plant exceeded 10 billion rubles. The capacity of the enterprise is up to 800 million units of production per year.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: How mediators help Muscovites resolve conflicts

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    International Mediation Day is celebrated on June 18. Moscow has unique specialists — mediators — who help city residents resolve conflicts and disputes. You can get their support at family centers and the Center for Mediation and Social and Legal Assistance. Thanks to the specialists, in almost 70 percent of cases it is possible to find a solution that suits both parties.

    People turn to mediators when there are disagreements in a couple, difficulties in communication between children and parents. The main goal of specialists is to help reach an agreement and find a solution that takes into account the interests of everyone, to maintain or restore relationships.

    Conflicts between spouses

    The mediation procedure is effective in a family crisis. Spouses can contact specialists at any stage of the conflict. The mediator will help resolve the conflict, and if this is impossible, get a divorce calmly and without lengthy court proceedings. Last year, a project was launched for couples without children who filed a joint application for divorce at the My Documents government services center. Within a month after that, they can receive a mediator’s consultation: take a fresh look at the current situation, find a way out of the crisis and, possibly, save the relationship.

    For example, Olga and Pavel were on the verge of a breakup. At the My Documents government services center, the couple accepted an offer to participate in the project. Mediators held several sessions with the spouses, helped identify key points on which their opinions diverge: budget planning, respect for personal boundaries, and the format of joint leisure. The parties voiced their positions and, with the support of a specialist, found a compromise.

    “The mediator managed to restore communication between the young spouses and help them come to agreements that saved the marriage. After completing the work with the specialist, Olga and Pavel went on a trip to Sochi. It turned out that this was what both had wanted for a long time, but could not voice to each other due to tense relations,” said Olga Gracheva, head of the Center for Mediation and Social and Legal Assistance (branch of the Center “Assistance”) of the capital

    Department of Labor and Social Protection of the Population.

    When the union cannot be saved, the mediator helps to transfer the current relationship to the stage of completed and agree on the future. Olga Gracheva noted that this is important, especially if the spouses have children. Specialists will help to understand the family conflict, using mediation tools and will provide psychological support. The result of the negotiations will be a mediation agreement, which will reflect all the agreements.

    Working with children

    Family center specialists instill a culture of communication in the younger generation and teach them conflict resolution skills. In the young mediators club, teenagers aged 12 to 18, under the guidance of experienced mentors, master mediation technologies and develop personal competencies that help build effective communication in everyday life. The kids learn to listen, hear, and find compromises.

    “The knowledge that the children received in the young mediators’ club is not just theory, it is an opportunity to look at conflicts from a different angle, to understand themselves and others, to get real tools and learn how to use them. We help develop awareness, teach how to manage emotions, find a common language with others and take responsibility,” said Marina Kalmykova, head of the mediation service of family centers.

    For example, Daniil’s parents and grandparents were constantly arguing about his future. The schoolboy found himself a hostage to the situation. Adults insisted that he go to 10th grade and then continue his education at a law school. As summer approached, the situation in the family became tense. Daniil did not want to be a lawyer and felt guilty for his choice. At the young mediators’ club, the boy learned conflict resolution techniques that could be applied in the current situation. He talked to his relatives one by one, listened to their opinions and wishes. The boy told his relatives that he was not attracted to the legal profession and that he wanted to be an engineer. Adults accepted this choice and helped him choose a suitable educational institution.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Scientists have uncovered the genetic basis behind the evolution of ants

    SHENZHEN, June 18 (Xinhua) — Scientists from the Global Ant Genomics Alliance (GAGA) published a groundbreaking study in the international scientific journal Cell on Monday, revealing the genetic basis behind major adaptive changes in ants’ evolution and their social traits that evolved in parallel.

    Despite their small size, ants demonstrate impressive organizational skills. They are able to build intricate nests without using “language” to communicate, and they have the most rigorous system of division of labor.

    By analyzing whole-genome data from 163 ant species collected from around the world, the research team reconstructed the evolutionary tree of the ant family, covering 12 of the 16 extant subfamilies.

    The study sheds light on the complex phylogenetic relationships between ant species and traces the common ancestor of modern ants back to the late Jurassic period – about 157 million years ago – shedding light on the origins of ant organizational structure during the age of dinosaurs.

    Scientists have found that ant gene families associated with olfactory perception were significantly expanded in the common ancestor’s genome, suggesting that it already possessed key molecular mechanisms for social communication.

    The study also found that different ant species exhibit different mechanisms that regulate which ants become queens and which become workers, reflecting their adaptive evolution through natural selection.

    The study involved scientists from Zhejiang University, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Nanchang University and BGI Research in China, as well as scientists from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark and the University of Münster in Germany. -0-

    NEW YORK, June 17 (Xinhua) — The United States has full control over Iranian airspace, US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday.

    “We now have complete and total control over the Iranian skies,” he said.

    “Iran had good tracking and other defense equipment, and plenty of it, but it doesn’t compare to what was made, designed, and manufactured in America. No one does it better than the good ol’ USA,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

    D. Trump left the Group of Seven (G7) summit in Canada late Monday, a day earlier than expected, amid an exchange of missile strikes between Israel and Iran.

    Earlier on Tuesday, Trump said he wanted a “real end” to the conflict, not just a truce. He also told the Truth Social website that the United States knows where Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is hiding, calling him an “easy target” and calling for Iran’s “unconditional surrender.”

    “I think they know not to touch our troops,” Trump said of Iran, warning that the United States would not hold back if it had to respond.

    In an interview with ABC News on Sunday, the White House chief said the United States was not involved in Israel’s military strikes on Iran, but did not rule out the possibility.

    Israel has called on the United States to join the conflict with Iran to dismantle its nuclear program, local media reported. –0–

    LOS ANGELES, June 17 (Xinhua) — Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass on Tuesday lifted a weeklong curfew in part of the center of the second-largest U.S. city.

    “The curfew, coupled with ongoing crime prevention efforts, has gone a long way to protecting stores, restaurants, businesses and neighborhoods from attackers who have no regard for the immigrant community,” Bass said in a statement.

    “I am lifting the curfew effective today, and as we continue to quickly adapt to the chaos emanating from Washington, I will be prepared to reimpose the curfew if needed,” the mayor said, adding that “the priority will remain ensuring safety, stability, and support in downtown areas.”

    On Monday afternoon, Bass announced that the curfew would be shortened by two hours because crime prevention efforts had been largely successful. The change followed an earlier order issued on June 10 that set the curfew from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. local time. –0–

    “Lu Ban Workshop” is a Chinese brand of international cooperation in vocational education, which has now become an important platform for technology transfer and talent training in the joint construction of the “Belt and Road”. In November 2022, the first “Lu Ban Workshop” in Central Asia was launched in Tajikistan. Over the next year, Lu Ban Workshops were launched in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and other countries. This project not only opened up opportunities for Central Asian youth, but also built a bridge of understanding between the people of China and the Central Asian region.

    Lu Ban’s workshops, opened in several Central Asian countries, have achieved good results and reflect three main features of practical cooperation between China and the region. First, it is demand-driven, when all specialties are selected taking into account the actual needs of the industries of Central Asian countries. Second, it is technology adaptation, that is, an organic combination of China’s advanced technologies in infrastructure construction, new energy sources, etc., with local resources and development conditions. Third, it is sustainability, when, based on the medium- and long-term development strategies of countries, not only the current problem of shortage of qualified personnel is solved, but also special attention is paid to the development of the ability for independent economic development. China has always promoted cooperation with Central Asian countries in the field of vocational education on the basis of equality and win-win cooperation, which reflects the Chinese concept of “benevolence, sincerity, mutual benefit and inclusiveness” towards neighboring countries.

    In the long term, Lu Ban Workshops will continue to play the role of a technology incubator and talent reservoir, providing a steady impetus to long-term cooperation between China and Central Asian countries. As generations of local talents grow and individual joint projects steadily advance, Lu Ban Workshops will become a source of new energy for cooperation between China and Central Asia, laying a solid foundation for building a closer community of shared destiny between China and the region.

    ASTANA, June 18 (Xinhua) — Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday called on China and Central Asian countries to advance high-quality cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative and jointly move toward the goal of building a community with a shared future for China and Central Asia guided by the “China-Central Asian spirit.”

    Xi Jinping made the statement in his keynote speech at the 2nd China-Central Asia Summit, which was chaired by Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. The summit was also attended by Presidents Sadyr Japarov of Kyrgyzstan, Emomali Rahmon of Tajikistan, Serdar Berdimuhamedov of Turkmenistan, and Shavkat Mirziyoyev of Uzbekistan.

    Xi Jinping recalled that during the previous summit in Xi’an, China, two years ago, the leaders of the six countries jointly formulated the “Xi’an vision” for China-Central Asia cooperation. Over the past two years, he added, China and the Central Asian countries have deepened and given concrete content to cooperation within the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, achieving progress in various areas of cooperation.

    According to the Chinese leader, the framework of the China-Central Asia mechanism has basically been formed, the agreements of the first summit are being comprehensively implemented, the paths of cooperation are steadily expanding, and the blossoming flowers of friendship are becoming ever brighter.

    Xi Jinping noted that through years of joint efforts, the six countries have formed a “China-Central Asian spirit” based on the principles of mutual respect, mutual trust, mutual benefit and mutual assistance, and advancing joint modernization through high-quality development.

    As the Chinese President pointed out, the “China-Central Asian spirit” has set important guidelines for friendship and cooperation from generation to generation, and this spirit should be steadily maintained and continuously developed by the six countries.

    In the context of accelerating changes unseen in a century, today’s world is entering a new period of global upheaval and transformation, Xi Jinping said, stressing that only unwavering adherence to the principles of honesty, fairness, mutual benefit and win-win will help safeguard world peace and achieve common development.

    Xi Jinping called on the six countries to follow the “China-Central Asia spirit” and enhance cooperation with greater enthusiasm and pragmatism.

    In this regard, he put forward a five-point proposal.

    First, China and Central Asian countries should unswervingly adhere to the original aspiration for unity based on mutual trust and mutual support.

    Second, China and Central Asian countries should optimize the framework for pragmatic, highly effective and deeply integrated cooperation.

    Third, China and Central Asian countries should build a security architecture based on peace, tranquility and common interests. They should strengthen regional security governance, steadily deepen cooperation in law enforcement and security, jointly prevent and counter the spread of extremist ideology, resolutely combat the “three evil forces” (terrorism, separatism and extremism), and jointly safeguard peace and stability in the region.

    Fourth, China and the Central Asian countries should strengthen the cultural ties of common thoughts and moral principles, mutual understanding and closeness between the peoples. China is ready to intensify cooperation with the Central Asian countries at the levels of legislative bodies, political parties, women’s and youth organizations, media and think tanks, conduct in-depth exchanges of public administration experience, open new cultural centers, university branches and “Lu Ban Workshops” in the Central Asian countries to train highly qualified personnel for these countries.

    Fifth, China and Central Asian countries should uphold a fair, reasonable, equitable and orderly international order. They should jointly safeguard international fairness and justice, oppose hegemonism and power politics, and actively promote the construction of an equitable and orderly multipolar world and an inclusive economic globalization that benefits everyone.

    In conclusion, the Chinese President noted that China is currently comprehensively promoting the building of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation through Chinese-style modernization.

    He stressed that regardless of changes in the international situation, China will unswervingly adhere to the policy of opening up to the outside world. China hopes to work with Central Asian countries to establish higher-quality cooperation and deepen the integration of interests, so as to achieve common prosperity and promote continuous new achievements in China-Central Asia cooperation, Xi Jinping concluded. –0–

  • MIL-OSI Russia: IMF Staff Concludes Staff Visit to Liberia

    Source: IMF – News in Russian

    June 17, 2025

    End-of-Mission press releases include statements of IMF staff teams that convey preliminary findings after a visit to a country. The views expressed in this statement are those of the IMF staff and do not necessarily represent the views of the IMF’s Executive Board. This mission will not result in a Board discussion.

    Monrovia, Liberia: An International Monetary Fund (IMF) staff team, led by Mr. Daehaeng Kim, Mission Chief for Liberia, visited Monrovia from June 4 – 17, 2025, to conduct the 2025 Article IV Consultation and the Second Review under the Extended Credit Facility (ECF) arrangement.

    At the conclusion of the mission, Mr. Kim issued the following statement:

    “The IMF staff held engaging and constructive discussions with the authorities on recent macroeconomic developments, the economic outlook, and medium-term policy priorities under the Article IV Consultation, as well as the performance and policies supported by the Extended Credit Facility arrangement.

    “The authorities have continued to make progress in maintaining macroeconomic stability, and their commitment to reform remains strong. Slow mining activity and fiscal adjustment were key factors that moderated economic activity in 2024. A significant reduction in unproductive expenditures combined with recovery of tax revenues contributed to an impressive fiscal outturn, with the primary fiscal balance improving from a deficit of 4.2 percent of GDP in 2023 to a surplus of 1.3 percent of GDP in 2024. Inflation reached 13.1 percent in February 2025, driven primarily by domestic food prices, but has come down to 11.7 percent in May. The current account has improved significantly. Overall, program performance has been broadly satisfactory.

    “The medium-term outlook has been marked down due to the sudden stop of aid flows and less favorable global environment. The growth outlook is supported by a rebound in mining activity, a recovery in agriculture and sustained growth in manufacturing and services. Inflation is projected to return to single digits, supported by prudent fiscal and monetary policies and projected lower global food and crude oil prices. The current account is expected to narrow further, while the debt-to-GDP remains on a sustainable path.

    “Policy dialogue under the Article IV Consultation focused on structural reforms to tackle significant development needs, mitigate climate risks, and promote private sector growth and economic diversification to achieve sustained and inclusive growth.

    “IMF staff and the authorities have reached understandings on most key macroeconomic policies for the second review of the ECF arrangement. Discussions on a few outstanding issues will continue virtually, with the goal of finalizing the staff level agreement (SLA) in the coming weeks.

     “IMF staff express its gratitude to the authorities and all other counterparts for their warm hospitality and constructive engagement.”

    “The team met with the leadership of the national legislature, Minister of Finance and Development Planning, Mr. Augustine K. Ngafuan, Executive Governor of the Central Bank of Liberia, Mr. Henry F. Saamoi, senior government officials, development partners, representatives of the private sector and civil society.”
