Well, and, as always, all the tools to develop the economy of this gigantic region will be discussed.
Business dialogues with India, China, Mongolia and ASEAN are planned for the forum.
The president himself, in addition to the mentioned meeting on the implementation of the program for the development of Far Eastern cities, will separately get acquainted with an interactive presentation of the achievements of the Far East.
It is planned to put several companies into commercial operation in the Far East via video conferencing.
Investments continue in priority areas (areas of rapid socioeconomic development. – AG) and new lines of capacity are being launched in various areas.
In addition, the president will also work on the construction of a museum, theater and educational complex.

There will also be international contacts.
The main foreign guest at the forum will be the vice president of Laos, Pani Yathothu (she is a woman); In fact, she will participate in the plenary session that will be held on September 12 together with President Putin.
With her at the head of the State before the plenary session
A separate bilateral meeting will be held.
The president will also meet with China’s State Council Vice Premier Zhang Guoqing, who will also visit Vladivostok and participate in the forum.
The “Plenary” is the central event of the EEF, a discussion with emphasis on Far Eastern issues, development issues, which traditionally always cover international issues and other areas related to the development of our country.
In Vladivostok the president will also meet with the moderators of the EEF sessions.
Such a meeting was piloted last year and turned out to be quite significant.
In reality, this gives the head of state the opportunity to immerse himself in the topics that appear on the forum’s agenda.
And we will also talk about specific issues and problems that business representatives face in the course of their work in the region.
Therefore, expect a very, very busy schedule…
