On September 5, the 7th Eastern Economic Forum will begin in Vladivostok, Russia. The main topic of the Forum is “Towards a multipolar world”. Despite everything, Russia invites the leaders of Asian countries to include its agenda in the economic dialogue.
Delegations from 60 countries are expected this year. The most numerous are from China, India, Kazakhstan, and also, notably, from Japan and South Korea. That is, official Tokyo and Seoul are imposing sanctions, but business intends to maintain constructive relations with Russia and its vast market.
The key international direction of all six thematic blocks of the Forum is building new economic ties, including logistics, an alternative division of labor and energy supplies. It should be noted that in the context of sanctions, new markets for energy resources and new logistics routes for Moscow are currently more than relevant issues. At the Forum, Russia plans to partially solve these problems with the help of partners who remain neutral or even feel loyalty to the country.
