Excerpts from transcript
of plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum
President of Russia Vladimir
Putin: President
Battulga, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Prime Minister Mahathir Bin Mohamad,
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe,
Ladies and gentlemen, friends,
First of all, I would
like to address our foreign guests, both leaders
of the countries represented here and our foreign partners
in the audience. Thank you for showing so much respect
for Russia, and for your interest in developing relations
between our countries.
I hope, I am certain that
our work during this forum will be most productive and rewarding
for everybody here. I am happy to welcome you all
to the Eastern Economic Forum.
It is the fifth time that
Vladivostok, the capital of Primorye Territory and now
of the entire Far Eastern Federal District of Russia, has
brought together heads of major Asia-Pacific states, the largest
investors, business people, representatives of the public
and expert communities.
This year we are hosting over 8,500
participants from 65 countries. Since the first forum, representation has
increased more than twofold. We believe this is a convincing indication
of the growing interest in the Russian Far East
and the cooperation opportunities offered by this truly colossal
region.
