Russia to invest 180bn rubles to upgrade border checkpoints

VLADIVOSTOK, July 21 (Xinhua) — The Russian government will allocate nearly 180 billion rubles (about 2.3 billion U.S. dollars) over the next three years to upgrade border checkpoints across the country, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said on Monday.

Speaking during a visit to the Kanikurgan automobile border checkpoint in the Amur Region, Mishustin emphasized that the investment will support the construction, repair and technical re-equipment of border facilities using advanced digital and technological solutions.

“A large-scale effort is underway nationwide to improve cross-border logistics,” Mishustin said. “As part of the current three-year federal budget cycle, we will direct nearly 180 billion rubles to develop and modernize border checkpoints.”

He added that more than a quarter of the country’s existing checkpoints are set to be upgraded over the next five years. “These are priority locations in terms of current and projected trade flows,” Mishustin noted. “In the Far Eastern Federal District alone, over 30 checkpoints are scheduled for upgrade.”
