Russia will invest nearly 180bn rubles (about $2.3bn) over the next three years to modernize its border checkpoints, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin announced on Monday.
During a visit to the Kanikurgan checkpoint in the Amur Region, Mishustin said the funding will support construction, repairs, and the introduction of advanced digital systems, Xinhua reported.
More than a quarter of the country’s checkpoints are set for upgrades over the next five years, with over 30 in the Far Eastern Federal District alone. The move aims to improve cross-border logistics and support growing trade flows.
