The greeting reads, in particular:
“I welcome the participants and guests of the first Far East International Economic Congress.
Representatives of government organs, academics, businessmen, and public figures, it is necessary to discuss pressing issues concerning the social and economic development of Russia’s Far East, the effective implementation of the region’s rich potential, and multi-sided, mutually advantageous cooperation with countries of the Asia-Pacific region.
I expect your forum to become a tradition and that the recommendations resulting from interested and constructive dialogue will promote the dynamic development of the Russian regions in the Far East, increased investments in those regions, and the realization of long-term business projects.
I wish the congress participants successful and fruitful work.”
