Abstract

On September 2-4, 2021, the Annual VI Eastern Economic Forum will be held in Vladivostok. The forum is aimed at promoting Russia in Asia and attracting Asian investments to the Far Eastern regions. In applied economic terms, Russian-Chinese relations clearly need diversification of interaction, the formation of a number of additional economic, administrative, legal and infrastructural opportunities for more active attraction of China to the Far East on trade and investment tracks.

The article examines one of the key items on the WEF agenda - Russian-Chinese regional cooperation, the search for additional opportunities to increase its effectiveness. The results achieved, obstacles and prospects for cross-border cooperation between the Russian Federation and the PRC, the creation of border crossings, the expansion of investment projects, the strengthening of interaction between neighboring Russian and Chinese regions and provinces are analyzed. An attempt is made to identify the most acute and important items on the agenda of the Forum, to give some practical recommendations.

It is obvious that the Chinese vision of the Far East, the methods and forms of its development, do not always coincide with the Russian one. It is fundamentally important, relying on political will and mutual trust, to frankly and honestly sort out all the non-coinciding, sensitive “points” and contradictions that exist both at the level of joint cooperation and in the sphere of Chinese business policy in the Far Eastern regions.

Combining expert and administrative-political efforts will make it possible to create a high-quality intellectual product of cooperation between the two states in the Russian Far East.
