Omsk Region delegation is working at the Eastern Economic Forum-2023

The Eastern Economic Forum is taking place in Vladivostok from 11 to 13 September. The main theme of the Forum was the concept "On the way to cooperation, peace and prosperity."

The delegation of the Omsk Region is taking part in the WEF-2023 business program. The working trip is being led by Andrey Shpilenko, Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Omsk Region and representative of the Omsk Region to the Government of the Russian Federation. The delegation included Evgeny Kovtun, Director General of the Regional Agency for Development and Investment, and Alexey Bazhenov, Head of the Department for International and Interregional Cooperation at the Omsk Region Ministry of Economy.

The Eastern Economic Forum is a key international platform for creating and strengthening ties between the Russian and global investment communities. This year, participants from 50 countries are expected at the WEF, including China, India, Myanmar, Mongolia and Laos.

The participants discuss a wide range of topics. Among them are the creation of a new economic model of the world, the modernization of the energy sector, the renovation of cities and the development of the economy in the face of sanctions. The Forum will feature more than 400 presentations by speakers dedicated to the analysis of changes in the world and the assessment of the global economy, as well as more than 120 events in various thematic blocks.

It should be noted that Russian President Vladimir Putin is taking part in the VIII Eastern Economic Forum. The Head of State held a meeting on the development of Far Eastern cities as part of the event, and is currently speaking at the Forum's plenary session. Pani Yathotu, Vice President of the Lao People's Democratic Republic, is scheduled to speak during the session.

"Russia's turn to the East is gaining momentum. Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin, in an address to the Federal Assembly, called Siberia and the Far East a "national priority for the entire 21st century." Time has only confirmed the correctness of this goal setting. At the beginning of the year, the Russian Government approved a new Strategy for the socio-economic development of the Siberian Federal District until 2035. The main goal of the Strategy was the formation of a competitive economy. It is necessary to look for new growth points, so the priority is to create and modernize logistics chains, remove infrastructure restrictions on exports to the east, attract new investors to the region and strengthen their positions," said Evgeny Kovtun, General Director of the Omsk Region Development and Investment Agency.
