The overview of commitments that were agreed previously.
(A sharp stick is placed on the table.)
"In May 2018, we outlined the key areas of our work until the middle of this decade, and last year, in July 2020, we extended our planning horizon to 2030. The decision was made considering the speed and scale of social, economic and technological transformation happening in Russia and the world in general. Our country must not only respond to these challenges but be the leader of global changes. We have everything to become one. We need to set and solve everyday tasks, which build up, and remember systemwide tasks as well, as they both create the canvas of long-term development. ...."

The concluding statement of the action agreed at the meeting.
(A larger sharp stick joins the original sharp stick, on the table.)
"....
What would I like to draw your attention to? It was noted today that we managed to preserve the macroeconomic indicators, and this is a foundation on which we resolve all other tasks. In planning additional expenses, we must bear in mind that we need to preserve this macroeconomic sustainability and look at how our one-time obligations or long-term commitments will correspond to our revenues in the near future. We must undertake a proper, deep analysis of the situation and make relevant decisions on reaching our national development goals on its basis.
I would like to thank all of you not only for today’s work and our meetings, but for everything you have done in the previous months, in a year and a half. I am sure that overall we are on the right track. We must focus our resources on reaching the goals we have set ourselves."
