The discussion focussed on issues related to establishing zones of advanced economic growth in the Far East. Mr Trutnev said that a government commission has selected 15 projects in different sectors to go ahead in the designated zones and investors have already been found.
Overall, industrial production grew by 5.9 percent over the first quarter for the Far East as a whole, and investment is also on the rise.
In accordance with the presidential executive order, preparations have begun for the Eastern Economic Forum, which will take place in Vladivostok in September.
