The Far East and the Arctic in a New Global Context

Almost ten years ago, Russia declared the development of the Far East a national priority for the 21st century.

On Thursday, September 2, within the framework of the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, the Valdai Discussion Club held a special session, titled “Global Challenges and Opportunities for the Far East and the Arctic”.

Despite the complexity and multifaceted nature of this task, the "pivot to the East" policy is bearing fruit: it is not the first year that the pace of development of the region has outperformed the average for Russia. However, over the years, the world we live in has changed: there has been a rollback of globalisation, new geopolitical configurations are emerging, the world economy is beginning to transform under the influence of the “green” agenda, and the coronavirus pandemic has presented humanity with new social challenges.

The Valdai Club session at the EEF-2021 was devoted to the opportunities and threats that the new global context creates for the Russian Far East and the Arctic. Follow this link to read a summery of the session
