The Roscongress Foundation confirmed that delegates from forty-two nations are set to participate in the Eastern Economic Forum, which is scheduled to take place in Vladivostok at the start of September. The announcement, carried by Daily Storm, notes a broad international presence spanning multiple continents and economies, underscoring the Forum’s role as a pivotal gathering for regional and global business leaders, policymakers, and investors looking to engage with Asia-Pacific markets and beyond.
Among the nations represented are Australia, Austria, Armenia, Bangladesh, the United Kingdom, Ghana, Hong Kong, Zimbabwe, Greece, Israel, India, Indonesia, Italy, Yemen, Kazakhstan, Qatar, Kyrgyzstan, China, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, North Korea, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mali, Malta, Mexico, Myanmar, the Netherlands, Norway, the United Arab Emirates, the Republic of Cyprus, Singapore, Syria, the United States, Thailand, Togo, Uzbekistan, the Philippines, France, Chad, Chile, South Africa, and Japan. This diverse roster highlights the Forum’s appeal to a wide spectrum of economies—from resource-rich producers and emerging markets to established consumer markets—all converging to discuss Belt and Road-era opportunities, supply chain resilience, technology transfer, and regional integration strategies that drive growth across the broader Eurasian space.
Roscongress emphasized that invitations were extended to senior leaders in the People’s Republic of China, though no confirmation of participation has yet been received. The development reflects the Forum’s ongoing emphasis on inclusive dialogue with major stakeholders and its aim to feature high-level political and business decision-makers who can shape cross-border collaborations. Participants can anticipate a careful balance of policy discussions, industry-specific panels, and investment showcases designed to illuminate investment prospects, regulatory developments, and commercial partnerships across sectors such as energy, infrastructure, digital economy, and manufacturing.
Earlier communications outlined the business program for the seventh Western Economic Forum, which will unfold on the campus of the Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok from September 5 to 8. The central thread for the 2022 gathering is framed as a move toward a multipolar world, with sessions expected to explore regional autonomy in decision-making, diversification of supply chains, and cooperative initiatives that align with evolving geopolitical and economic realities. The program is designed to connect regional economies with global markets, allowing participants to share practical insights, present project pipelines, and form alliances that advance regional development goals while addressing shared challenges.
