In his speech, the Minister noted, among other things, the significance of the Eastern Economic Forum for development of the region. According to Mr. Galushka, the high standard of the event, which took place in September 2017, is corroborated by fact that it was attended by Russia’s President Vladimir Putin, and chief executives of Japan, Republic of Korea, Mongolia, as well as substantial delegations from China, India and the US.
“The Forum has become a clear manifestation of appreciation by the international community of the eastern agenda that is being implemented by the Russian state. The leaders of foreign countries and business captains spoke about the effectiveness of the Advanced Special Economic Zones and the Free Port of Vladivostok. What Russia is currently pursuing in the Far East is dramatically expanding the opportunities for investment, trade and economic cooperation”, said Alexander Galushka.
