Yuri Trutnev chaired a meeting of the organizing committee for the preparation and holding of the XI Eastern Economic Forum.
A meeting of the organizing committee for the XI Eastern Economic Forum (EEF), which will be held from September 1 to 4, 2026, in Vladivostok, was held in Moscow. The EEF is being organized by the Roscongress Foundation with the support of the Russian Government.
"The Eastern Economic Forum is being held under the leadership of Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and is boosting the development of the Far East. Currently, more than 3,000 investment projects worth a total of 13.5 trillion rubles are being implemented in the Far East, of which 6 trillion rubles have been invested, including 1 trillion rubles over the past year. This is an important result, achieved despite the efforts of numerous unfriendly countries to hinder us. As part of these investment projects, more than 1,000 enterprises have been commissioned and over 180,000 jobs have been created. Last year, the EEF was attended by over 8,000 participants from 75 countries. We continue to communicate with our international partners and develop the Far East and Russia," said Yury Trutnev, Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District and Chairman of the EEF Organizing Committee, opening the meeting.
During the meeting, general aspects of the forum's preparation were discussed, including the content of its business program, as well as the preparation of urban infrastructure.
"The Eastern Economic Forum is currently one of the key development tools for the Russian Far East and an important platform for implementing national development goals. In 2026, declared the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia, the forum will focus on the humanitarian dimension of development. The "Soul of Russia" project, which was already presented at the anniversary EEF, will unite traditions, modern ideas, and the cultural diversity of the country's peoples and will highlight the unique features of our multinational country through the creative cluster. This will strengthen the Far East's position as a hub for interaction between the cultures and civilizations of the Asia-Pacific region," noted Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President of Russia, Deputy Chairman of the Organizing Committee and Executive Secretary.
The organizing committee discussed the theme of the upcoming event. "Ten years is a good time to take stock. One of the topics will be an analysis of the implementation of the President's instructions issued following previous forums. We are holding the EEF not for the sake of the forum itself, but to achieve results. The results are defined by the instructions of the head of state. The second important issue is technological development. Today, without technological advancement, the development of the Far East and the entire country is impossible," said Yuri Trutnev.
Furthermore, the business program proposed highlighting issues related to the development of energy and transport infrastructure, discussing mechanisms for attracting private investment and government support measures, and discussing aspects of human resources policy. Special attention will be paid to the implementation of master plans for Far Eastern cities and improving the quality of life. As usual, industry-specific business sessions will be organized to discuss the implementation of investment projects.
The 4th International Forum "Falcon Day" will take place on the opening day of the EEF, having already become a highlight of the forum. The "Far East Street" exhibition will traditionally showcase the achievements, unique culture, customs, and cuisine of the Russian Far East, as well as the economic potential of the regions.
The 2026 Eastern Economic Forum will feature a strengthened international sports component. The Parade of Sails will take place for the fifth time, bringing together over 1,000 sailors and young yachtsmen in Amur Bay, including professional foreign yachtsmen from China and other friendly countries.
