President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin has
sent greetings to the participants, organizers, and guests of the Eastern
Economic Forum (EEF) 2024, which will take place in Vladivostok on 3–6
September 2024.
In his message, Putin noted that since its inception,
the Forum has made a huge contribution to the development of constructive
economic ties between Russia and other countries in the Asia-Pacific region.
Russian and foreign entrepreneurs, representatives of government agencies and
public structures, and experts engage in direct and informal communication at
the Forum, which makes it possible to discuss numerous pressing issues on the
regional agenda and develop beneficial joint projects.
“This is reflected in the motto of the current Forum:
‘Far East 2030. Combining Strengths to Create New Potential’. The Asia-Pacific
region’s role in international affairs is rapidly expanding. New opportunities
for productive cooperation are being created here, including within the
framework of such authoritative multilateral structures as the Eurasian
Economic Union, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, and BRICS. I would like
to reaffirm that Russia is open to a dialogue with all interested partners in
the Asia-Pacific region and is committed to active cooperation in order to
build a more just and democratic system of international relations that is free
of dictate, force, and sanctions pressure and is based on genuine equality,”
Putin said.
Putin noted that the Forum participants will have an
opportunity to think about new, promising forms of cooperation in various
areas, ranging from transport, energy, and infrastructure to ecology and
tourism.
“I hope that you will engage in constructive,
meaningful discussions, and that your proposals and initiatives will be in
demand on a practical level,” Putin said.
