It provides for transport accessibility of Nakhodka and this is one of transport infrastructure strings critically needed in the Far East and for development of the country on the whole," the official said.

Proposals to involve private investments in construction were discussed at the meeting. "The model of bringing private investors into the project must be transparent, clear and honest. It should be done in interests of the Russian state," the deputy prime minister added.
