Russian President Vladimir Putin is participating in the plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said earlier that President Putin is planning to hold a series of non-public meetings on the sidelines of the EEF.
The Russian leader has already held bilateral meeting with the vice president of Laos, Pany Yathotou, on the sidelines of the forum.
The EEF is a key international platform for creating and strengthening ties between the Russian and global investment communities, and a comprehensive expert assessment of the Russian Far East's economic potential.
