The state of emergency on the Trans-Siberian Railway and Russian-Japanese economic cooperation in the Kuril Islands, Vladimir Putin discussed with permanent members of the Security Council of the Russian Federation on Friday.
Due to torrential rains in Transbaikalia, traffic on the Transsib [Trans-Siberian Railway] has been blocked. A bridge collapsed on a railroad linking east and west. The supports could not withstand the flow of water. Dozens of trains, including passenger ones, have been canceled.
The situation on the Transsib became the topic of Vladimir Putin's meeting with the permanent members of the Security Council. The President instructed the government to ensure the vital activity of the adjacent blocked areas, and the coordination of all services responsible for the elimination of the emergency.
Also, Prime Minister Mishustin, who is scheduled for a working trip to the Far East in the near future, Putin instructed to pay special attention to the Kuril Islands. Russia and Japan, according to the president, are working to create conditions there for joint economic activity.
There are good developments to be formulated and implemented in the near future. Some proposals for work in the Kuril Islands, Vladimir Putin stressed, are unique and unprecedented.
