The 4th All-Russian forum "A small homeland is Russia's strength" has started.
The IV All-Russian City Forum "Small Motherland - Strength of Russia" started in Moscow. His program was launched on the first regional day dedicated to the development of rural areas.
The forum was organized by the All-Russian Association for the Development of Local Self-Government with the support of the Administration of the President of Russia. His program will continue until April 2027 and will end with the distribution of the service award.
One of the events of the first regional day was a direct dialogue between the heads of authorities and the Minister of Agriculture of Russia Oksana Lut.
"The municipalities bear the burden and the main responsibility for developing areas and creating comfortable living conditions for people. You know your area and the needs of its residents better than anyone. Our task is to provide all the necessary support, build a constructive dialogue and move together for common results," said Oksana Lut.
Chairman of the State Duma Committee for Regional Policy and Local Self-Government Irina Guseva emphasized that the development of rural areas depends on several fields at the same time - education, employment, agriculture and the effectiveness of urban teams.
Based on the results of the regional days, expert materials and a recommendation will be prepared.
Trans-Baikal Territory will also join the forum. At the end of November, the area will be presented by a delegation of five people. It will be headed by the CEO of the Union of Municipal Councils of the Trans-Baikal Territory Sergey Galchenko.
As part of the final events, the All-Russian Municipal Service Award will be awarded. Applications are now open and will continue until November 29th.
We will remind you that last season the Trans-Baikal territory was one of the three leading regions in the Far East in terms of the number of applications for the award.
