on the 5th local time, russian president vladimir putin attended the plenary session of the 9th eastern economic forum and delivered a speech. according to russian news agency, this forum was held in vladivostok, russia from september 3 to 6, with the theme of "far east 2030: unity and opportunities".

putin said that the world's major business connections, trade routes and development directions are increasingly turning to the east and the "global south". russia's far east provides a direct channel to open up these promising markets, which also enables russia to overcome the obstacles that some western countries are setting up. he said that russia has formulated a development plan for the far east for the 21st century. russia will comprehensively improve the business environment throughout russia and the far east to provide more convenient and efficient conditions for foreign investors. russia needs to pay close attention to and refer to the relevant commercial preferential policies of china and other countries to attract more investment.

russia plans to establish its first "international advanced development zone" in primorsky krai and speed up the relevant bills. putin said that the transportation capacity of railways in russia's far east should be increased to 180 million tons. regarding the modernization project of the baikal-amur railway, russia will complete the laying of 3,100 kilometers of railways in the next eight years. russia will continue to increase the volume of freight on the northern sea route and improve the throughput capacity of russian ports along the route. in addition, russia will allocate an additional 100 billion rubles (about 7.9 billion yuan) for the implementation of the far east urban master plan from 2025 to 2030. in order to promote the development of industries, russia will carry out a pilot project for the production of civilian drones in the far east.

russia's "tsargrad.tv" news website analyzed on the 5th that putin emphasized the importance of russia's far east to russia's current and future development at the forum, and proposed a series of development measures and plans. as the united states and other western countries continue to escalate the conflict with ukraine and strengthen the blockade and sanctions against russia, russia is actively turning to the "east" and the "global south". the far east can become an important region for russia to vigorously expand relations and cooperation with countries in the asia-pacific region and further break through the western blockade. the relevant measures introduced by russia will release the potential for cooperation between the far east and asia-pacific countries, thereby opening up more new growth points and driving forces for the russian economy.

in the question-and-answer session, putin said that russia has not implemented a "de-dollarization" policy and has never actively given up dollar settlements. instead, other countries refuse to settle in dollars with russia. in response, russia has to look for other alternatives.

russian media reported that when talking about the russian-ukrainian conflict, putin said that the russian army's duty is to make every effort to drive the ukrainian army out of kursk oblast and other russian territories. ukraine's goal is to create tension and chaos in russia to divert russian troops from the donbas region in order to prevent the russian army's offensive in key directions. but controlling the donbas region is russia's primary goal, and ukraine's attempt has failed. he also said that the kiev authorities' attacks on the kursk and zaporizhia nuclear power plants were "very dangerous terrorist attacks." "the outside world can imagine what will happen if russia responds in a reciprocal manner, and what consequences the whole of europe will face."

regarding the russian-ukrainian peace talks, putin said that russia has never refused to negotiate on the ukrainian issue, but the negotiations should not be based on "illusory demands" but on the agreement reached and actually signed in istanbul, turkey. ukraine recognized the agreement at the time, but the agreement failed to take effect because the ukrainian authorities "received instructions not to do so."

the russian newspaper viewpoint quoted experts on the 5th as saying that putin sent a message to the west at the forum about the possibility of resuming negotiations to resolve the conflict. russia does not reject negotiations in essence, the question is whether ukraine and the western countries behind it can show a pragmatic attitude and be fully prepared.

tass reported on the 5th that putin showed russia's openness to negotiations on the ukrainian issue, pointing out that russia does not reject negotiations. this is not only a signal to the west and the international community, but also reiterates russia's consistent principles and positions. the responsibility for the failure to implement the consensus reached in the previous negotiations does not lie with russia. in addition, putin showed russia's tough attitude towards the ukrainian army's offensive in the kursk direction, which also allowed the west to hear the signal sent by russia and truly recognize the current situation.
