The Pavilion of the Republic of Buryatia was
named the best regional exposition at the Far East Street exhibition, which
took place in Vladivostok on 3–8 September as part of
the 5th Eastern Economic Forum. This decision was made by the EEF
Organizing Committee.
The winning pavilion was decorated in the Buryat
national style using images of Lake Baikal. Guests had an opportunity to learn
about projects being implemented in the Buryatia Advanced Special Economic Zone
and the region’s cultural traditions and also visit an exhibition of jade
products. Ka-226T and Mi-171A2 helicopters produced by Ulan-Ude Aviation Plant
were displayed in front of the exposition.
The Primorye Territory pavilion designed in the
form of a sea shell came in second. Visitors learned about promising
infrastructure projects in Vladivostok and the concept for the development of
Russky Island.
Third place went to the Magadan Region pavilion,
which was designed in the form of a stylized letter ‘M’. The pavilion used
multimedia technologies to show guests the unique nature of Kolyma and held a
unique cultural event called the ‘Golden Festival’, whose participants compete
in gold washing.
Russian Deputy Prime
Minister and Presidential Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District Yury
Trutnev said the Far East Street exhibition was not only one of the highlights
of the Eastern Economic Forum’s cultural programme, but also a platform for
attracting investors and discussing projects. “This is a unique opportunity for
the regions. It’s difficult to imagine where else you could present the region
on a platform with so many countries, guests, and company leaders. Not a single
region has such opportunities in the Far East and, perhaps, in Russia too,
except for Moscow and St. Petersburg. This is important and interesting”,
Trutnev said.
This year marked the first time that eleven
regions of the Far Eastern Federal District participated in the Far East Street
exhibition and presented their potential and achievements in the economy,
culture, and tourism. The exhibition was visited by 48,000 people over a period
of six days.
“The Far East Street exhibition is a key event
in the Eastern Economic Forum’s cultural programme. The exhibition plays an
important role in terms of developing humanitarian contacts. The exposition
gets better and better each year, and its diverse formats and multimedia
technologies enable Russian and the Forum’s foreign guests as well as Primorye
residents to learn about the unique diversity of the Far East regions”, said
Anton Kobyakov, Adviser to the Russian President and Executive Secretary of the
Eastern Economic Forum Organizing Committee.
Federal ministries and departments also
presented their expositions at the exhibition, and an extensive cultural and
sporting programme was prepared for the guests. A Russian-Japanese Sumo House
was set up for the first time and there have been proposals to make it an
annual event.
The 6th Eastern Economic Forum will
take place in Vladivostok on 2–5 September 2020.
