“It's been proven by quite a few studies that plants are good for our psychological development. If you green an area, the rate of crime goes down.

“If development was measured not by gross national product, but a society's success in meeting the basic needs of its people, Vietnam would have been a model. That was its real "threat." From the defeat of the French at Dien Bien Phu in 1954 to 1972, primary and secondary school enrollment in the North increased sevenfold, from 700,000 to almost five million.

“My position is that the rate should align with the level of economic development. Because it is always about a balance, a balance of interests, and it should reflect this balance. A balance between those who sell something across the border and those who benefit from a low rate, as well as a balance between the interests of those who buy, who need the rate to be higher. A balance between national producers, for example, agricultural producers who are interested in it.” NeedsShouldWellsInterestLevelsEconomicExamplePositionDevelopmentBalanceHigherBenefitsLowsSellsRateProducersBordersEconomic Development Author:Vladimir Putin
