Buryatia to Present Display About Baikal at ‘Far East Street’ Exhibition during the EEF

The Republic of Buryatia will take part in the ‘Far East Street’ exhibition to be held in Vladivostok on 10–17 September as part of the 8th Eastern Economic Forum. This year’s display is called ‘Baikal–Buryatia. Live”. EEF 2023 is organized by the Roscongress Foundation.      

“Baikal is one of a kind. It is the advantage of Russia. It is the face of Buryatia. Besides, the region is famous for its unique culture and traditions. However, no less important is the economic development of the Republic, the development of existing and the launch of new investment projects. Participants and guests of the Eastern Economic Forum will be able to learn how the Republic lives and develops,” said Yury Trutnev, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation and Plenipotentiary Envoy of the President of the Russian Federation in the Far Eastern Federal District of the Russian Federation.

Visitors to the pavilion of the Republic of Buryatia at ‘Far East Street’ exhibition will get to learn more about tourist routes, a cruise on Lake Baikal, national parks, and a Buddhist centre. Online and offline venues with interactive programmes will help them make a virtual journey.

In addition, various exhibitions will be organized: Buryatia’s gallery of folk arts and crafts will present products of factories, plants and folk craftsmen in ethnic style made of natural materials, while Oriental Way will present a collection of jade products dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Republic of Buryatia.

“On the one hand, our task is immense. Even such a busy pavilion will not allow us to convey all the beauty of our Republic. On the other hand, the display will help guests to learn more about Buryatia’s incredible potential. And this will undoubtedly encourage you to visit our hospitable region sooner,” said Alexei Tsydenov, Head of the Republic of Buryatia.

The pavilion will host performances by the Baikal Waves folk song and dance ensemble, the Razdolie ensemble, and vocalists. Master classes on fortune-telling on lamb bones ‘Shagaai Nadan’, felting from sheep wool, and making jewellery are planned. Visitors will also be able to view paintings by Buryatian artists. As part of the display, a traditional Buryat yurt will be presented. It will host a presentation of works by artist Zorikto Dorzhiev. He will personally conduct masterclasses on creating drawings on a tablet with an interactive yurt displayed on the screen.

In addition, guests of the pavilion will be able to consult specialists from the Centre of Asian Medicine. Doctors will use various diagnostic procedures using pulse or medical equipment to determine a person’s condition and give recommendations on how to improve their well-being.

Special attention will be paid to the region’s participation in the Special Military Operation. Bairma Yeshidorzhieva’s paintings dedicated to the SMO will be presented, as well as promising products, such as Aerocom’s drones or Sheneskin’s project of medical devices called ‘Living Skin’.

Ulan-Ude Aviation Plant will be the flagship of the Republic of Buryatia’s achievements in the industrial sphere and will present promising models of helicopters. The investment projects zone will host import substitution projects (Optolux: production of lighting equipment), promising projects in the mining industry (Baikalnedrageo LLC), projects for the production of tin and cardboard containers from the region’s flagships Pulp and Cardboard Mill and Baikal Tin Company, as well as the presentation of promising projects within the framework of the master plans for the development of Ulan-Ude and Severobaikalsk.

The ‘Far East Street’ exhibition is organized by the Roscongress Foundation with the support of the Office of the Presidential Envoy in the Far Eastern Federal District.

The Eastern Economic Forum will be held on 10–13 September 2023 in Vladivostok on the campus of the Far Eastern Federal University.
