the economy of the Asia-Pacific region. Readers can learn all about landmark
transport and social infrastructure projects, and plans for the development of
innovation and tourism clusters.
«The Forum magazine provides its readers an excellent
opportunity to immerse themselves in the event agenda in advance and learn more
about the Russian Far East, its traditions, and culture and tourist
attractions,» said Anton Kobyakov, Adviser to
the Russian President and Executive Secretary of the Eastern Economic Forum
Organizing Committee.
