The Far East Street exhibition opened on the opening day of the WEF-2025

On September 3, the opening ceremony of the Far East Street exhibition took place at the tenth anniversary Eastern Economic Forum. At its site, 11 Far Eastern regions, Russian ministries and departments present their key projects and achievements in the field of economy, culture and tourism. The exhibition is organized by the Roscongress Foundation with the support of the Office of the Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Far Eastern Federal District.

"This is the tenth time we have opened the Eastern Economic Forum and once again we are opening the Far East Street exhibition. When we created it, we dreamed that the exhibition would tell about our love for the Far East: Primorye and Khabarovsk Territory, Buryatia and Yakutia, Magadan Region and Chukotka. Today, after a lot of time has passed, when asked: "Did we succeed or not?" I can firmly say that it worked. This was made possible thanks to the hard work of people who live and work in the Far East. And, of course, it's not just about the “Street of the Far East." The entire Far East is changing: cities and towns, new investment projects are being created, new hospitals, schools, kindergartens are being built, and infrastructure is being improved. The Far East is becoming more prosperous and secure. We are doing all this thanks to the decision of the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, who declared the development of the Far East a national priority back in 2013. I want to thank everyone who participates in this work, and I want to wish us new successes and all the best," 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.

As part of the opening of the "Streets of the Far East" and the celebration of Victory Day over militaristic Japan, a solemn procession with a large St. George ribbon took place along the FEFU embankment to the main stage of the exhibition. Also, to the accompaniment of the Nevelsky Moscow State University Variety Orchestra, the honor guard of the S.O. Makarov Pacific Higher Naval School brought the flag of the Russian Federation and the Victory Banner to the site.
