Eastern Economic Forum announces main theme of 2025

The main theme of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF) 2025, which will take place on 36 September in Vladivostok, will be ‘The Far East: Cooperation for Peace and Prosperity’. The organizer of the EEF is the Roscongress Foundation.

“The Eastern Economic Forum provides an opportunity to discuss economic, political, and social issues not only in Russia, but throughout the world. It is one of the most important platforms for developing cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region. The main theme of the Forum this year is ‘The Far East: Cooperation for Peace and Prosperity’. Without cooperation and mutually beneficial partnership, development is impossible. Unfortunately, we see what is happening in the modern world: the unfounded political ambitions of certain neighbouring countries are harming business interaction, as well as the humanitarian and scientific spheres. But Russia remains open to cooperation. Preferential regimes are working in the Far East. Foreign investors have become residents of advanced special economic zones and the Free Port of Vladivostok, among other things. Now we are creating a new vehicle – an international advanced special economic zone, which will provide our domestic and foreign partners with mutually beneficial opportunities to strengthen the economies of our countries. Another area of ​​interaction is the Northern Sea Route, the shortest transport corridor between Europe and the Far East. We will discuss these and other topics at the Forum,” Russian Deputy Prime Minister and Plenipotentiary Representative of the Russian President in the Far Eastern Federal District Yury Trutnev said.

Adviser to the Russian President and Executive Secretary of the EEF Organizing Committee Anton Kobyakov said the main theme reflects the basic principles on which the EEF is based.

“The tenth anniversary Eastern Economic Forum will take place in 2025. Over the years, the EEF has established itself as an influential platform that shapes models of mutually beneficial partnership in the Asia-Pacific region. The main theme of the upcoming Forum reflects the value of equal international dialogue and peaceful coexistence as the foundations of sustainable development. The special role of the EEF is to harmonize global economic trends with the goals for socioeconomic growth in the Russian Far East. I am certain that the Forum will once again provide an effective platform for coming up with solutions in key strategic areas that will shape the foundation for the prosperity of the macro-region,” Anton Kobyakov said.

The Eastern Economic Forum 2025 will be held on the campus of Far Eastern Federal University.
