Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Chernyshenko held a working meeting with the governor of the Khabarovsk Krai, Dmitry Demeshin. They discussed the development of education, sports, youth policy, and tourism in the region.

“Khabarovsk Krai is a true educational outpost of the Far East. The region actively utilizes the measures of the national project ‘Youth and Children,’ which is being implemented on the initiative of our President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. The focus is on developing infrastructure and creating conditions to unlock the potential of the younger generation. For this purpose, kindergartens and additional education centers are being created and renovated, universities are supported, and the ‘Zemsky Teacher’ program is being implemented. I especially note Khabarovsk Krai’s participation in the advanced schools project. I am confident that investing in children and youth is a powerful impetus for the development of the entire region,” said Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko.

Within the framework of the federal project “Leading Schools” of the national project “Youth and Children,” an advanced school is planned to be established in Khabarovsk. It will become a hub for talented students from all over the Russian Far East and will prepare a personnel reserve for knowledge-intensive and high-tech sectors of the economy. The institution will accommodate 600 students from grades 7 to 11. A campus will be built for non-resident children, and a dormitory for teachers.

“Khabarovsk Krai is getting a unique opportunity to become the educational center of the entire Far East. I am confident that the new school will give talented kids from all regions the chance to unlock their potential,” said Dmitry Demeshin, governor of Khabarovsk Krai.

Currently, 16 institutions are being constructed and renovated simultaneously in the region – 5 schools and 11 kindergartens. By 2030, the region plans to build 9 schools with 9,000 seats and 17 kindergartens with approximately 4,500 seats, including within the framework of the national projects “Youth and Children” and “Family.”

The governor also emphasized that the Khabarovsk Territory annually becomes the venue for regional, all-Russian, and international youth events. In June, the All-Russian festival “Russian Student Spring” for professional educational institutions was held in Khabarovsk and Komsomolsk-on-Amur. Special emphasis is placed on patriotic education.

Dmitry Chernyshenko and Dmitry Demeshin discussed the subject’s cooperation with the People’s Republic of China. In the first half of the year, over 8,000 Chinese guests have already visited the Khabarovsk Territory, which is 17.5% more than during the same period in 2025. This result was made possible thanks to the visa-free regime.

“We see and support the active work of the Khabarovsk Krai on the national project ‘Tourism and Hospitality.’ Thanks to a unified subsidy and preferential lending within the framework of the national project, several hotels are being created. This helps make the residents’ leisure in the region more comfortable, as well as attract travelers from other regions and countries,” noted Dmitry Chernyshenko.

A new railway tourist route called the “Eastern Necklace of Russia” has been created in the region, covering 4 Far Eastern entities. In the coming years, water health and sports-tourism complexes will appear.

The year 2026 in the Khabarovsk Krai has been declared the Year of Sports. More than 700 thousand people are involved in regular sports activities and various forms of physical exercise. In 2026, construction is underway for 32 sports facilities for all age groups: 4 modular fast-erected physical culture and health complexes (FOK), small sports grounds, a smart sports ground in the Nikolaevsky district, and 4 GTO sports grounds. A swimming pool is being built in Khabarovsk, and the first phygital center has already opened.
