#EEF2024
On September 3-6, the 9th Eastern Economic Forum (#EEF2024) will take place in Vladivostok . This forum was established by the President to promote the Far Eastern economy and to expand international cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region.
Over the years, the Forum has firmly established itself as a leading venue for addressing socioeconomic priorities in the Asia-Pacific region. Top government officials from China, India, Kazakhstan, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Republic of Korea, Armenia, and Japan have taken part in the forum over the years. Our partners are genuinely interested in deepening practical cooperation with Russia.
For instance, the 2023 #EEF was attended by over 7,000 representatives from the official, expert, and business circles across 62 countries in the Asia-Pacific region and other parts of the world.
#Ukraine #KievRegimeCrimes
Horrific testimonies from captured militants continue to reveal that the Ukrainian Armed Forces command is directly instructing servicemen to kill civilians and loot Russian territory.
The widespread and deliberate nature of the atrocities and looting committed by Ukrainian forces on the Russian territory is becoming increasingly evident.
The fact that the West refuses to recognise the terrorist and criminal nature of the Zelensky-led regime increases its direct responsibility for the bloody atrocities committed by Ukrainian neo-Nazis.
#NoStatuteOfLimitations
After receiving a standing ovation in the House of Commons of the Canadian Parliament in September 2023 (for those who may have forgotten, he was a member of the 14th Waffen-SS Grenadier Division Galicia), a request was made to the Canadian authorities to extradite the former SS member involved in the murder of at least 500 innocent Soviet civilians. They refused to extradite him. Canada has become a haven for such individuals.
Last week, thanks to the efforts of the Prosecutor General’s Office of the Russian Federation and the National Central Bureau of Interpol at the Russian Interior Ministry, the Ukrainian Nazi was added to the Interpol General Secretariat’s wanted list. Fifteen member countries of the organisation have already joined in the search for him.
We are encouraged by this concrete example of Interpol’s commitment to holding Nazi criminals accountable, regardless of the statute of limitations, including their search and extradition for prosecution of crimes against humanity.
#WeRemember
A Russian youth delegation is paying a visit to Slovakia from August 25 to August 31 to take part in memorial functions dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the Slovak National Uprising. The Russian representatives were invited by Prime Minister of Slovakia Robert Fico.
The young Russians’ participation in a large-scale military memorial function in Slovakia reaffirms both countries’ commitment to their common historical values and the memory of their joint fight against Nazism and for Great Victory.
We are grateful to the Slovak leaders, the local authorities, and ordinary people for their caring attitude to the memorials and graves of Soviet soldiers, who died while liberating Slovakia during World War II.

🎙 President of Russia Vladimir Putin took part in the 9th Eastern Economic Forum plenary session (September 5, 2024)
Full text of the statement and answers to media questions
💬 President Putin: We have designated the development of the Far East as a national priority for the XXI century. The significance and correctness of that decision have been confirmed by life itself, the challenges we have recently encountered and, most importantly, the objective trends that are gaining momentum in the global economy, when the main business ties, trade routes and the overall development are increasingly shifting towards the East and the Global South.
Our Far Eastern regions offer direct access to these growing emerging markets, helping us overcome the barriers which some Western elites are trying to create worldwide. The most important thing, as I have already mentioned, is that the Far East is a huge area for implementing business initiatives, launching complex projects and creating whole new industries.
❗️ The Far East has become a crucial factor for strengthening Russia’s standing in the world and our flagship in the new global economic reality. The further development of the Far East will largely determine the future of our country as a whole.
<...>
Overall, representatives of more than 75 countries and territories are taking part in the forum’s events. It is extremely important that such discussions are complemented with substantive business dialogues and result in the adoption of investment decisions and trade agreements. I would like to say that over a thousand agreements worth in total more than 10.5 trillion rubles were signed during the previous three forums.
☝️The Eastern Economic Forum has rightfully become a respected venue for establishing reliable business contacts and discussing the strategic development of the Russian Far East and the Asia-Pacific region as a whole.
Other key talking points
• Russia's economy ranks fourth in the world in terms of GDP by purchasing power parity;
• We and our BRICS partners use national currencies in 65% of trade settlements with each other;
• We did not refuse to settle in dollars, we were denied settlements, and we were simply forced to look for other options;
• More than 30 countries are willing to cooperate with BRICS, and some of them are ready to join the group;
• The new members who joined BRICS this year are self-sufficient, have rapidly growing economies and will make their contribution to the development of the grouping;
• [Kiev regime's Kursk incursion] goal of trying to make us nervous, to relocate our forces, to halt our military adavance in Donbass was not achieved. Our Armed Forces stabilised the situation and stepped up their offensive.

• The annual Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok expands opportunities for new mutually beneficial agreements with our partners in the Asia Pacific region as well as deeper cooperation with them in priority sectors, both in their specific areas and on a wider scale.
• The People’s Republic of China remains a major foreign economic partner of Russia’s Far Eastern regions. <...> Interregional ties, including border links, have played an increasing role in the development of the Russia-China comprehensive and strategic partnership.
#Ukraine #KievRegimeCrimes
• The Ukrainian Nazis continue with their barbaric attacks on civilians in Russia. These are not hostilities but rather acts of terrorism and extremism. <...> A growing number of captured Ukrainian Nazis confirm that the orders to kill civilians and loot Russian territories are carried out under direct orders from their command.
• The ‘collective West’ acts as the main client and instigator of the Kiev regime’s military aggression. The West is openly and boldly demonstrating its direct involvement as a concerned party.
• The insane idea of supporting terror against Russia has garnered support from several other Western attendees of that event, namely the foreign ministers of the Netherlands, Poland, France and the Baltic regimes. EU politicians have abandoned rational thinking and prudence in the hope of getting short-lived political benefits and Washington’s approval.
#NordStream
• Official Berlin is trying to claim that the situation around the act of sabotage is advancing in the right direction, and that everything is proceeding according to plan. However, they have failed to unveil any specific results so far.
• We can see an ineffective approach, and we cannot help but ask: How sincere are the intentions of German authorities to conduct unbiased investigations?
