TASS-FACTBOX. The tenth Eastern Economic Forum (EEF) will be held in Vladivostok on September 3-6, 2025. ‘The Far East: Cooperation for Peace and Prosperity’ will become its central theme. TASS has collected the main information about the Forum.
Key details
The Eastern Economic Forum is one of the largest international conferences in Russia. It has been held on the campus of the Far Eastern Federal University in the Primorsky Region’s Russky Island in Vladivostok since 2015.
The Forum is the initiative of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who decreed that the event be held annually. And this has been the case, except in 2020, when the forum was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The forum’s objectives and goals include promoting the accelerated growth of Russia’s Far East region; assessing its potential for exports; expanding international cooperation in the Asia-Pacific Region, including with ASEAN; showcasing the investment appeal of the region, its steadily progressing territories, and the Vladivostok free port.
The EEF traditionally sees a large number of agreements made. Since 2018, their amount has been at least 3 trillion rubles, and in 2024, a record was set as 313 agreements for a total of 5.57 trillion rubles ($53 bln) were concluded.
