"This year, the jubilee, tenth Eastern Economic Forum was held. At the Forum, 358 agreements worth 6 trillion 58.2 billion rubles were signed. But this is not the main thing. The Forum became a place to sum up the work over the past ten years. On the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, we continue to work for the benefit of the Far East, for the benefit of our Motherland. Social programs that are in demand by people, mechanisms for stimulating the economy and attracting investors have been launched. The instructions given by the President will be fulfilled in full," said Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation - Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Far Eastern Federal District, Chairman of the Organizing Committee for the preparation and holding of the EEF Yuri Trutnev.
"Our President's words that the EEF provides an opportunity to communicate with colleagues from almost the entire Pacific region are a high assessment of this work. The Forum was attended by about 8,000 participants and media representatives from 75 countries and territories. The past EEF showed that regardless of the geopolitical situation, we are ready to advocate for equal cooperation with all constructively minded countries based on the principles of responsible and long-term partnership," noted Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President of the Russian Federation and Executive Secretary of the Organizing Committee for the Preparation and Holding of the EEF.
