The Forum will take place on September 3-6 on the campus of Far Eastern Federal University, organized by the Roscongress Foundation. The release notes that the international economic environment is “marked by growing tensions, mistrust, and the destruction of well-established economic and cultural ties,” but adds that, “Nevertheless, when it comes to the environment of the Far East and the countries of the Asia-Pacific region, the overwhelming majority of countries are committed to continuing and intensifying cooperation with Russia. The Eastern Economic Forum is an effective tool for this.”
