The President's message reads:
”Friends,
I would like to extend a warm welcome to you on the opening of the 10th anniversary Eastern Economic Forum.
Over the past decade, the Forum, traditionally held in Vladivostok, has cemented its reputation as a respected international event. It offers businesses, including those from abroad, a valuable opportunity to discover the unique economic, scientific, technological, and infrastructural potential of Russia’s Far East, while also fostering broad and diverse international cooperation. In this regard, the theme of this year’s Forum is highly symbolic – The Far East: Cooperation for Peace and Prosperity.
As the centre of global economic activity continues to shift towards the Asia-Pacific, new opportunities are emerging to develop mutually beneficial ties among countries across the region, not only through bilateral partnerships, but also within multilateral frameworks such as the SCO and BRICS. Russia remains open to constructive dialogue with all interested partners and is committed to playing an active role in joint efforts to build a fair system of international relations in the Asia-Pacific – one based on genuine equality and mutual respect for each other’s legitimate interests.
I am confident that the Forum’s participants – government officials, local authorities, entrepreneurs, experts, and public figures from dozens of countries – will engage in meaningful discussions on topical issues facing the region and the wider world and will help shape new approaches and practical mechanisms for working together.
I wish you a successful and productive Forum.“
