We expect the participation of foreign leaders and high-level guests,” Executive Secretary of the organizing committee of the EEF-2022 Anton Kobyakov said.
In addition, Kobyakov pointed out that the forum’s business program will be dedicated to the most pressing issues of the development of the Far East, the global and regional economy, and international cooperation, as well as the discussion of the trajectory of overcoming the crisis.
