The message reads, in part:
“Russia prioritises the development of multifaceted partner ties with its APR neighbours, both bilaterally and within the framework of various multilateral associations. In this context, expanding dialogue between supreme judicial authorities of the countries in this crucial region appears highly relevant.
The Forum participants – judges, lawyers, legal scholars, and experts – will share their experience and discuss the key issues related to legal regulation and judicial practice. This year, you will focus on protecting the rights and legitimate interests of international economic entities. We proceed from the premise that adequate safeguards of the rights of entrepreneurs and investors, fair resolution of tax and customs disputes, and effective intellectual property protection are fundamental to promoting international cooperation in trade, the economy, finance, science, technology, and many other areas.
I hope that you will hold substantive discussions and that the proposals and initiatives you will put forward will serve to improve national legal systems and expand constructive and mutually beneficial ties between Asia-Pacific countries.”
