Dozens of countries have confirmed their participation in September's Eastern Economic Forum (EEF) 2023 in Vladivostok, Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District Yury Trutnev said on Wednesday.
"Work is already underway to confirm the arrival. A whole number of countries, I would say dozens of countries, have confirmed participation in the EEF. I am not going to name the leaders of these countries. They will make their own decisions, the foreign ministry handles such negotiations. Leaders of states will be on the territory of Vladivostok, but we will tell you which ones later," Trutnev told reporters.
The forum brings together political leaders, entrepreneurs and representatives of public organizations from the Far East and Russia, as well as the countries of the Asia-Pacific region.
