"According to the results of last year, Chukotka showed positive dynamics in a number of indicators.

The Russian government supports the Chukotka Autonomous Region, and there are three preferential treatment regimes in the region.: TOP Chukotka, Vladivostok Free Port, Arctic zone regime. Consolidated budget revenues and the region's own revenues increased. These northern lands are home to strong-minded, brave, purposeful people who work in industries and mines, develop deposits, preserve the traditions of reindeer husbandry, provide our country with copper and tin, coal and gas, fish and seafood. Thanks to the measures taken by the Government, people's lives are changing. Updated according to the master plan approved by the President, Anadyr. Facilities are being built and reconstructed within the framework of national projects and the presidential single subsidy. The main task is to make sure that people's lives change qualitatively, so that an appropriate level of social infrastructure is created," said Yuri Trutnev, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Far Eastern Federal District, Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the Eastern Economic Forum.

The space of the main pavilion of Chukotka will be divided into thematic zones in several areas: history, culture, economy, tourism. Visitors will be able to explore the region through the real stories of local residents. The pavilion will feature interviews with entrepreneurs and representatives of rare professions such as Arctic farmers or caviar tasters. It is also planned to place materials on Rosatom and Baimsky GOK projects in the zones, including interactive maps, architectural plans and development prospects for these enterprises.

"This year we celebrate three significant dates: 95 years of the Chukotka Autonomous Region, 80 years of the Great Victory and 10 years of the Eastern Economic Forum. Our exhibition on the "Street of the Far East" reflects this connection of times: the memory of the past, the dynamics of the present and plans for the future. We invite the guests of the Forum and everyone who wants to visit the Far East Street to discover the unique Arctic," said Vladislav Kuznetsov, Governor of the Chukotka Autonomous District.

The region is developing a rich business program. In particular, it is planned to hold presentations of Arctic brands to potential investors and foreign partners, round tables and strategic sessions, and an interregional meeting of cultural representatives.

Local brands will be presented in the Creative Products Area, and visitors will be able to get acquainted with authentic products from the region and purchase them as souvenirs.

In addition, a "Chukotka for Victory" zone will be created to showcase video materials about the region's contribution to Victory in the Great Patriotic War. An interactive wall with images of defenders of the Fatherland – a pilot, a reindeer herder and a fighter - will be installed in the zone. The centerpiece will be an art object dedicated to the participants of a special military operation.

The street exhibition will be decorated with monumental compositions. Three abstract vertical steles will be installed, pointing to the sky. St. George's ribbons, logos of Chukotka and the Eastern Economic Forum will be placed under each figure. The art objects will reflect three anniversaries: 95 years of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, 80 years of the Great Victory, 10 years of the WEF.
