Russian President Vladimir Putin sent greetings to the participants, organizers, and guests of the 8th Eastern Economic Forum, which will be held in Vladivostok on 10–13 September.
In his greeting, the
Russian President noted that the Forum has established itself as a respectable
and representative international event that creates good opportunities for
direct and meaningful dialogue between businessmen, politicians, public figures,
and experts from various countries. He stressed that EEF traditionally
addresses the most pressing issues of economic, social and infrastructural
development of the Russian Far East, as well as many aspects of cooperation and
integration ties across the entire Asia Pacific.
“The main theme of this year’s meeting – ‘The Path to Partnership, Peace,
and Prosperity’ – reflects Russia’s desire to build constructive relations with
all interested foreign partners. Our country is fully open to an inclusive
dialogue on pressing regional issues and has every intention of continuing to
participate actively in efforts to nurture relations between the states of the
Asia-Pacific region and contribute to a system based on equality, mutual
benefit, and respect for the legitimate interests of all,” added Vladimir
Putin.
The Russian President
stressed that during the EEF plenary session, as well as its panel discussions
and thematic roundtables, the prospects for expanding trade, investment and
scientific and technical cooperation will be discussed.
“It is important that we identify ways to create new, highly efficient
production and logistics chains, modernize transport and energy systems, and
ensure the food and environmental security of the region,” stated Mr. Putin.
