Competitions are also mutual assistance, support, respect for yourself and your opponent. Sport allows you to become physically strong and strengthen your will to achieve (your goal). In addition, sport is inextricably linked with patriotism. The Forum will feature two venues of the “VOIN” center. This center for military-sports training and patriotic education of youth was created on the instructions of the President of Russia. At the Forum, you will be able to learn about the center's programs and take part in its sports events. The Far Eastern regions also prepared their own individual sports programs at the “Far East Street” exhibition, said Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation – Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Far Eastern Federal District, Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Eastern Economic Forum Yuri Trutnev.
The games programme was developed by the “Roscongress” Foundation in cooperation with the Russian Ministry of Sport, all-Russian federations and the Russian Paralympic Committee.
