Every Russian entrepreneur ought to regard himself as the government's partner in efforts to improve public living standards. Whatever the scope of business, every entrepreneur, even the smallest private, must be aware of his responsibilities toward the nation, Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov said to a maiden session of the Council for Enterprise and Competition. Private business partnership with the state must become the pivot of updated business community contacts with the regime, he pointed out. State/Biz partnership is closely linked to a dire necessity to enhance social responsibility of business, be it small, medium-scale or big. Russia will efficiently meet its challenges if each rises above corporate interests to do his bit for social problems. As the Premier sees it, the state and the business community are together to work out long-term strategies for team efforts. Priority must belong here to projects the government cannot implement single-handed, and such on which private business necessarily needs government backing. Such projects concern transport, power industry, information, communications, pioneer technologies and R&D. Russia has recently reached macroeconomic and government finance stability. Public demands and incomes are skyrocketing. All that has taken social aspects of economic progress into the foreground. The social sphere promises tremendous economic opportunities and, to implement them, the government and the business community must join hands. The Cabinet has changed evaluations of the current national economic situation, and will soon blueprint a programme to pace up economic progress rates, added Mr. Fradkov. The Cabinet is gathering, Thursday next, to sum up its achievements for the first half-year and debate guidelines for its further work, proceeding from the premises of President Vladimir Putin's state-of-the-nation address to parliament, announced the Prime Minister.
