Russia's Goal: Stronger World Leadership

Moscow, Dec 24 (Prensa Latina) Prime Minister Victor Zubkov said on
Monday that his government and legislature seek the common goal of
strengthening Russia as one of the leaders of the world's political and
economic processes.

Zubkov recalled that priority is clearly included in this year's speech
of President Vladimir Putin before the Federal Assembly.

This means priority programs to increase the wellbeing of the
population, the establishment of an innovative economy and the creation
of conditions to enlarge human potential, he explained.

"All this with the final objective of strengthening Russia as leader in
today's global processes," said the chief of the Cabinet during his
speech at the opening session of the fifth legislative period of Duma
(Lower House).
