The New Horizons 2024 Transbaikal
Foreign Economic Forum, an offsite event of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF),
will be held in Chita and the Aginsky Buryatsky District on 19–20 July. The EEF
is being organized by the Roscongress Foundation.
“This year, the New Horizons 2024
Forum will become an offsite platform of the Eastern Economic Forum. An
extensive business and cultural programme is planned. The Forum participants,
including guests from China, Mongolia, and other countries, will address a wide
range of topics dedicated to the comprehensive development of international
cooperation. An event of this format and level will help us identify new points
of economic growth in the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District, outline
trajectories for interstate cooperation, and have a beneficial effect on
strengthening socioeconomic and cultural ties, as well as unlocking
Transbaikal’s export, tourism, and investment potential,” Transbaikal Territory
Governor Alexander Osipov said.
During the plenary session ‘International
Cooperation between Russia, China, and Mongolia’, participants will discuss the
use of Transbaikal’s unique geography and the experience of interregional
cooperation that has been gained in the Far East to develop tourism and attract
investment, support the functioning of priority development areas, implement
joint initiatives and projects, and ensure the principles of modern diversified
international interaction.
“Representatives of the Russian and
foreign governments, as well as the business community, will take part in the
Forum. I firmly believe that their joint work will help to develop specific
solutions that aim to further strengthen multilateral cooperation for the
benefit of the Transbaikal Territory and the Far East, and the topics and questions
raised during the events will serve as a good basis for discussions at the
Eastern Economic Forum,” Roscongress Foundation Deputy CEO and EEF Director
Igor Pavlov said.
In addition, the Forum participants
will discuss such issues as medical and health tourism, the creation of new
tourist routes in the Far East, and investment and support measures as part of
the implementation of projects of international and regional importance.
Osipov will also hold meetings at
the Forum with foreign delegations and representatives of the business,
scientific, and public communities. The agenda will focus on the region’s
investment appeal, plans for its development, and ways to strengthen mutually
beneficial cooperation.
During the cultural programme, the
Forum participants will have a chance to visit the ‘On the Great Tea Road’
international art exhibition, an exhibition of the modern Russian sculptor and
gunsmith Zhigjit Bayaskhalanov, the theatrical performance ‘My Cradle is the
Golden Aga’ and the grand opening of the sculpture ‘The Cauldron of Friendship
of Three Countries’. In addition, the Forum will include a photo exhibition
about tourist sites in Transbaikal, a presentation of traditional products and
souvenirs from craftsmen of the region, as well as various master classes.
The New Horizons Transbaikal Foreign Economic
Forum is a platform that aims to promote cooperation between business and
government, strengthen international relations, and present the economic
potential and tourism opportunities not only of the Transbaikal Territory, but
also of the entire Far East. The Forum is being held with the support of the
governor and government of the Transbaikal Territory, the Ministry for the
Development of the Russian Far East and the Arctic, the Far East and Arctic
Development Corporation, and the Roscongress Foundation.
