"The Eastern Economic Forum is a platform of national importance, clearly demonstrating the consistent state course for the comprehensive development of the Far East and strengthening its role in the global economy. The EEF is one of the key mechanisms for the formation of a new architecture of international cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region, the task of which is to bring the density and quality of business and humanitarian ties between all parties interested in partnership to a fundamentally new level. It is through specific joint projects and trusting dialogue at the Forum that future vectors of economic growth, digital transformation and sustainable development for the entire macro-region are determined, the efforts of the state and business are consolidated to form breakthrough initiatives that determine the contours of the global economy for years to come. Thus, the result of the EEF is decisions that have a long-term, strategic effect," emphasized Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President of Russia, Executive Secretary of the EEF Organizing Committee.
