"This year, more than 8,000 people from 75 countries participated in the tenth anniversary Eastern Economic Forum. This is a record number. The 'Far East Street' exhibition has become a traditional part of the EEF. The Republic of Buryatia's exhibit was recognized as the best pavilion. The 'Far East Street' exhibition has become an independent and important element of the Forum. We have learned to communicate in an engaging way the things that make our regions proud: industrial development, cultural heritage, and tourist appeal. I thank all the regional leaders for their work," said Yuri Trutnev.
Five more regions received awards. Kamchatka, Khabarovsky Region, and Primorye pavilions won the "High Technologies" category. Yakutia and Chukotka were named the best Far Eastern regions in the "Best Cultural Program" category. The day before, Yuri Trutnev presented an award to the "VOIN" Center for the Development of Military-Sports Training and Patriotic Education of Youth, which won the "Best Industry Pavilion" category.
