🇷🇺 The Eastern Economic Forum has begun in Vladivostok

In Vladivostok, the XI Eastern Economic Forum has started its work. The forum, which will take place from September 1 to 4, has as its central theme the development of Russia’s Far East and the expansion of Russia’s economic relations with the Asia-Pacific region. Moscow positions the forum itself as the central international platform for investment cooperation in the Far East.

This year, however, the significance of the Eastern Economic Forum goes far beyond regional economic issues. Against the backdrop of sanctions and the reduction of economic ties with Europe, Russia’s turn to the East takes on a very practical meaning: trade, transport corridors, energy, investment, and settlements. Putin will also hold international meetings in Vladivostok and speak at the forum’s plenary session.

“If Europe closes one economic channel after another for Russia, it is particularly interesting not only to look at what Russia is losing in the West, but also at what is being built in the East in parallel.”
