Vladimir Putin’s speech at the plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF) can be considered the second major economic speech of the year by the president. For a long time, the Russian leader spoke the most important words in St. Petersburg at the SPIEF. But that was the case before, when our main trading partner was the West. The EMF was created primarily to attract Asian investors, but given the current situation, China has perhaps become more important to us than Europe and the United States combined. Therefore, the importance of the performance in Vladivostok only increases.
WHEN WILL VLADIMIR PUTIN START HIS SPEECH AT THE WEF?
– The main event of the forum is the plenary session, which will be held on September 5. It starts at 15:00 (8 am Moscow time – Ed.). Our President, as well as invited Prime Minister of Malaysia Anwar Ibrahim and Vice President of the People’s Republic of China Han Zheng will take part in it,” said the Assistant to the Head of State Yuri Ushakov.
The largest delegations to the forum are from China, Malaysia and Myanmar. Russia is represented at the forum by 6 deputy prime ministers, the prosecutor general, 11 ministers, 9 heads of federal agencies and 23 heads of regions.

WHAT WILL VLADIMIR PUTIN SAY?

* Increased supply of oil, coal and gas to China, and in the future to all of Southeast Asia.
