6th Eastern Economic Forum (EEF) session

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi delivered a video address during the plenary session of the 6th Eastern Economic Forum (EEF) held on 3 September 2021 in Vladivostok.
It may be recalled that PM was the Chief Guest for the 5th EEF in 2019, the first by an Indian Prime Minister.
In Indian history and civilization, the word ‘Sangam’ has a special meaning. It means the confluence or coming together of rivers, people or ideas. In my view, Vladivostok is truly a ‘Sangam’ of Eurasia and the Pacific.
Applauding President Putin’s vision for the development of the Russian Far East, PM reiterated India’s commitment as part of its "Act East Policy’ of being a reliable partner of Russia in this regard.
In 2019, India committed to an “Act Far East” policy. This policy is an important part of our special and privileged strategic partnership with Russia.
He underlined the natural complementarities of India and Russia in the development of the Russian Far East.
PM stressed the importance of greater economic and commercial engagement between the two sides in line with the ‘Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership’.

Mazagon Docks Limited will partner with ‘Zvezda’ for the construction of some of the most important commercial ships in the world.
India and Russia are partners in space exploration through the Gaganyaan program.
India and Russia will also be partners in opening the Northern Sea Route for international trade and Commerce.
The friendship between India and Russia has stood the test of time. Most recently it was seen in our robust cooperation during the Covid-19 pandemic including in the area of vaccines. The pandemic has highlighted the importance of the health and pharma sectors in our bilateral cooperation.
Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas Mr Hardeep Puri is in Vladivostok to represent India at this forum Indian workers are participating in major gas projects in the Amur region, from Yamal to Vladivostok and onward to Chennai. We envisage an energy and trade bridge known as Chennai - Vladivostok Maritime Corridor.
This connectivity project along with the International North-South Corridor will bring India and Russia physically closer to each other.
India has a long-term supply of coking coal to the Indian steel industry.
We are also exploring new opportunities in the agro-industry, ceramics, strategic and rare earth minerals and diamonds.
