The Day of the Far East and the Arctic is being held at the RUSSIA EXPO. A grand opening ceremony was held in Pavilion No. 75, which also featured a presentation of achievements of the regions of the Far Eastern Federal District and the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation.

"Today you and I are opening the Day of the Far East - the largest macro-region of the largest country in the world. The Far East was created by the feats of Russians. Several centuries ago, Cossack sea expedition detachments expanded the borders of the Russian land, went on difficult and dangerous journeys to uncharted places, built stockades, fortresses, cities and added new lands to Russia, making it more powerful and stronger. We continue this work today. In 2013, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin declared the development of the Far East a national priority. Millions of people are working on the development of the Far East, each in their own workplace: at school, in the hospital, on the bridge of a ship and in the cab of a locomotive. I want to bow to them all. It is probably almost impossible for one person to tell about the Far East. That is why all of our work today will consist of the speeches of so many people: heads of enterprises, writers, directors and participants of preferential regimes, governors. We want to create the most comprehensive picture of the Far East. I wish everyone success and all the best," Yuri Trutnev, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation and Plenipotentiary Envoy of the President of the Russian Federation to the Far Eastern Federal District, opened the event.

Alexei Chekunkov, Minister of the Russian Federation for the Development of the Far East and the Arctic, spoke before the presentation of the heads of regions: "The Far East and the Arctic represent 56% of Russia's territory, and I am convinced that these regions are the concentrate of Russia. These are real, strong, proven people, these are endless mineral riches, this is bright expressive, incredible nature, and this is the future. This is where the future of Russia is now being created. The unconditional priority announced by our President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin for the development of the Far East and the Arctic is being implemented by the government, implemented by all regional teams. And, of course, it is being implemented by people on shifts, on duty, by people who teach, who treat, who live in these most amazing territories - in the Far East and the Arctic".
