Miklushevsky also noted that the petrochemical cluster project had been put on priority list of the Russian Far East Development Ministry’s projects which will be implemented at advanced development territories where investors would be granted considerable benefits in taxation, insurance and customs payments.

Meanwhile, around 100 thousand jobs will be created in Primorsky Territory.
