President of the Russian Federation
Vladimir Putin sent greetings to the guests and participants of the 5th Eastern
Economic Forum, which will be held on 4–6 September in Vladivostok.
The greetings
from the President of the Russian Federation say, in part: “The
development of the Russian Far East, including strengthening of its economic
and innovative potential, as well as raising the living standards of its
residents, is our indisputable priority, a truly all-encompassing national
task. Lately, an array of unprecedented efforts supported the regional business
development, and the formation of Advanced Special Economic Zones. Industrial,
social, education, and sporting infrastructure is being expanded. Significant
attention is being paid to the Free Port of Vladivostok, a zone with a special
legal regime. Partnership between the business circles of Russia and the
Asia-Pacific Region is growing stronger.
I would like
to emphasize that being the largest Eurasian power, Russia supports the dynamic
development of the Asia-Pacific Region and welcomes equitable dialogue, both
bilateral and multilateral within the EAEU, the SCO, and APEC.”
Vladimir
Putin also expressed his certainty that this Forum will be productive and lay
the groundwork for new, prospective projects, which will facilitate the
development of mutually beneficial collaboration and cooperation.
“And, of
course, the forum will allow representatives of federal and municipal executive
bodies, entrepreneurial, and expert communities to chart highly professional
approaches and paths towards implementing the National Programme for the
Development of the Russian Far East, for the benefit of the residents of the
Russian Far East and all of Russia,” said the President of the Russian
Federation.
