Results of EEF-2021: the total amount of signed agreements exceeded $ 50 billion

The sixth Eastern Economic Forum has ended in the Russian city of Vladivostok. Despite the current coronavirus restrictions, representatives of 51 countries were able to visit it.

According to the organizers, 4,000 people took part in the Forum, including Gazprom Neft CEO, Deputy Chairman of the Gazprom Board of Directors Alexey Miller, VTB President and Chairman of the Management Board Andrey Kostin, as well as members of the Forbes list Vladimir Yevtushenkov (Sistema ), Leonid Mikhelson (Novatek), Dmitry Konov (Sibur Holding).
The forum was also attended by delegations from South Korea, Japan, India, China, Kazakhstan, USA and Great Britain. In total, representatives of 51 countries took part.
On the sidelines of the forum, the participants managed to agree on investments worth more than $ 50 billion. Among the largest projects, agreements on which were signed, the plenipotentiary named the construction of the second stage of the plant at the Udokan copper deposit in the north of Transbaikalia, the construction of the Nakhodka mineral fertilizer plant, the organization of power supply for the Baimsky mining and processing plant, as well as the creation of the Voskhod Far East venture fund.
Based on the large number of participating countries, the level of delegations and the volume of signed contracts, it is safe to say that the Eastern Economic Forum is another instrument of Moscow to overcome the sanctions pressure of the world community on the Russian economy. Experts from the International Fund for Financial Expertise believe that the sanctions regime against Russia plays in favor of Moscow, which, being in an isolated position, is gaining muscle and training its economy, production and technological base. Such a situation, according to experts, resembles the accumulation of the forces and power of the Soviet Union, which is dangerous for the countries of Europe and the United States. To a lesser extent for China, which has always been able to find a common language with the Kremlin.
