It is widely believed that the fourth Eastern Economic Forum (EEF), first attended by a Chinese head of state, signifies that China-Russia economic and trade relations have been lifted onto a new height and come to a new chapter. Cross-border e-commerce, two-way investment, construction of the Belt and Road, and regional economic cooperation become focus of attendees at the EEF running from Tuesday to Thursday.
To celebrate the opening of the Fourth Oriental Economic Forum, Vladivostok set up a "Far East Street" to introduce guests to the charms of Russia on Sept. 11, 2018.
