The head of Yakutia, Aisen Nikolaev, said that creating a diamond cutting cluster in the republic would not require the construction of new premises.

The creation of a cluster will affect the creation of new jobs in the region.

VLADIVOSTOK, September 5 - RIA Novosti. The construction of new premises to create a diamond cutting cluster in Yakutia will not be required; there are enough such facilities in the republic, the head of Yakutia Aisen Nikolaev said in an interview with RIA Novosti at the Eastern Economic Forum.

“Now the Alrosa company and I are actively working to prepare a regulatory framework for steam for the cluster. I believe that there is no need to build any new premises here. There are quite enough production facilities in Yakutia,” said Aisen Nikolaev.

The head of Yakutia also noted that the creation of the cluster will certainly affect the creation of new jobs in the region.

In August, Russian President Vladimir Putin decided to create a diamond cutting cluster in Yakutia and the Smolensk region. The provisions of the decree come into force on March 1, 2027.
