Russia understands it has a current demographic crisis, especially in regions in Siberia and the Far East. It has set up the State Migration Policy Concept 2019-2025, which is designed to attract foreigners and migrants to re-populate these areas with low populations. Russia will actively support skilled workers to live in these areas of low population and encourage permanent residence if workers build closer ties to Russia. Russia specifically wants to negotiate with India on its State Migration Policy concept so India may provide the skilled workers needed to promote the economic development of Russia in these low populated areas.
