📆 #EEF2022: The Valdai Discussion Club will take part in the business programme of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF) for the sixth time.
💡 On September 6 at 10:00 local time (GMT+10), the Club will hold a session titled “Gateway to the Multipolar World. The Far East in the New Architecture of International Relations”.
For several years the focus in world politics and economics has been shifting towards Asia. The development of relations with Asia is one of the central focal points of Russia’s foreign policy. Taking into account the crisis that broke out this year in relations with the West, for Russia the development of ties with the Asian region is of strategic importance. Today we are witnessing how the Russian Far East is gradually turning not just into “Russia’s gateway to Asia” but into “the gateway to the multipolar world”. Unlike the Western world, there are no countries in the Asian region that would claim world domination. Despite the fact that Asia’s political consolidation is far behind that of the West, the region occupies a central place in the emerging system of multipolarity.
According to the Valdai Club, the Far East should become a kind of “interface” for interaction between Russia and Asia. It is there that the main practices and skills of Russia’s interaction with partners in the multipolar world will be formed and developed.
The Valdai Club session will be a logical continuation of the Club’s series of events within the framework of the EEF, which were dedicated to Russia’s pivot to the East. It will be political and economic in nature, and will bring together the representatives of public authorities, business, the expert community and academic circles.
Andrey Bystritskiy, Chairman of the Board of the Foundation of the Valdai Discussion Club, will make an opening speech at the beginning of the session.
👥 Speakers:
🇷🇺 Anastasia Likhacheva, Dean of the Faculty of World Economy and International Affairs, HSE University
🇮🇳 B.K. Sharma, major general (ret.), director of the United Services Institution
🇷🇺 Natalia Stapran, Director of the Department for Multilateral Economic Cooperation and Special Projects, Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation
🇷🇺 Yury Trutnev, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation – Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District
🇨🇳 Wang Wen, Executive Dean of Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies (RDCY), Deputy Dean of Silk Road School, Renmin University of China

📆 #EEF2022: On September 6 at 12:30 local time (GMT+10), the Valdai Club will present a report at EEF-2022, titled “Russia-China Strategic Partnership in the Context of the Crisis in Europe”.
The Valdai Club, with the participation of employees of the HSE Centre for Comprehensive European and International Studies, became the first research centre in Russia to conduct an in-depth analysis of Russian-Chinese relations following the start of Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine.
📌 The main purpose of the report is to analyse how the dynamics of bilateral relations have changed, to establish the limits of the influence of Western sanctions on the interaction between Moscow and Beijing, and the instruments and scope of interaction between the parties at the present time.
Against the backdrop of the increasingly unfriendly behaviour of the United States and other Western countries, as well as their attempts to impose their vision of the world order, the partnership between Moscow and Beijing has taken on a new meaning.
According to the authors of the report, the developments of recent months have dispelled arguments about the “fragility” of relations between Russia and China; they have shown that the parties share a common strategic vision and a willingness to support each other. The dynamics of interaction between China and Russia in recent months is not related to the Ukrainian crisis, but follows from the natural state of a long-term strategic partnership, the report emphasises.
👥 Speakers:
🔹 Anastasia Likhacheva, Dean of the Faculty of World Economy and International Affairs, HSE University
🔹 Evgeny Markin, Executive Director of the Russian-Chinese Business Council
🔹 Wang Wen, Executive Dean of Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies (RDCY), Deputy Dean of Silk Road School, Renmin University of China

🌏 The 21st century is the century of the Far East.
🎯 In 2021, half of the world’s population was in the Far East.
🎯 Half of the top 20 countries by population are from the Far East: China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Japan, the Philippines, Vietnam.
🎯 The Far East Economic Circle accounts for 40% of the global GDP and contributes more than 50% of the global economic growth.
🎯 Between 2015 and 2030, the consumption of the world’s middle class is expected to increase by 30 trillion U.S. dollar, with Europe accounting for only 1 trillion U.S. dollar, and more than a half is from the Far East.
The most urgent task now is to correct the past stereotype of “Far East = remoteness + marginalization”.
We need to regard it as the hope for future development, and strive to promote the integration of the Russian Far East into the Greater Far East, that is, the process of East Asian economic integration, writes Wang Wen, Executive Dean of Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies (RDCY), Renmin University of China.

◽️ Will we be able to build consistent relationships in this world, make it comfortable, safe and convenient for everyone? These are the most important questions for our further development.

▪️ 68 countries take part in the forum, and not only those close to the Russian Far East: these are Australia, Austria, Britain, the United States, Germany, France, Switzerland, Japan, Ireland, Italy – one can list them for a very long time.
▪️ This suggests that, despite the significantly changed construction of the world, nevertheless we are interesting to each other, we are trying to understand each other. And that means we have a chance.
▪️ Russia’s turn to the East did not happen now. Since Vladimir Putin declared the development of the Far East a national priority, almost 3,000 projects have been launched, private investments have come in at nearly 3 trillion rubles, and agreements worth 6.3 trillion have been signed.
▪️ The Far East is developing rapidly. This is the point of intersection of the worlds. But there are new challenges, fragments of development. So, the new tasks are:

▪️ The Far East is developing rapidly. This is the point of intersection of the worlds. But there are new challenges, fragments of development. So, the new tasks are:
• Accelerating the development of the eastern railway polygon. We are not coping today: to date, 78 million tonnes have not been transported, and this is about 1.5 trillion lost gross national product. • Development of the Northern Sea Route. This is a transport artery that occupies a large place in the economy; the government has already adopted a plan for the Northern Sea Route. • Improving the modes of interaction with friendly countries. We want the mechanisms for recognizing diplomas and certificates to work fully, so that projects that will live in the new international territories of advanced development operate not only within the framework of national legislation, but also within the framework of intergovernmental agreements.🎥 Valdai Club session titled “Gateway to the Multipolar World.

🇨🇳 Wang Wen, Executive Dean of Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies (RDCY):
◽️ This is my first time in Vladivostok. Yesterday we climbed to the top of the hill, from where a view of the city opened – very similar to Hong Kong. And I thought, why not develop Vladivostok in the same way as Hong Kong? What is needed for this:
1️⃣ First is the implementation of financial projects, you must build the city as a powerful financial centre. In the 1990s, all investment flows and foreign investment passed through Hong Kong, so it was able to rise and become the world’s largest exchange. Vladivostok has something to look up to.
2️⃣ Second is the creation of infrastructure. There should be convenient roads that ensure competitiveness.
3️⃣ Third, it is important to create a large market. Vladivostok, Primorye, is located on the shores of the Sea of Japan, and it should be open to the world.
◽️ The topic of our conversation is the multipolar world. Twenty years ago, great changes took place in the world. In the next decade, China will overtake the United States.
◽️ Now India has become the fifth largest economy in the world. In the near future, we are waiting for such a situation: the first economy will be China, the second – India, the third – the United States, the fourth – Japan.
◽️ Where is Europe? In Europe, there is a decline.
◽️ What is the role of Russia? Now she can enjoy the dividends that her immediate neighbours create. And Primorsky Krai plays a big role in the development of the Russian Far East, it is important to integrate it with the common economic system.
