Also among the VIP-¬ persons were declared Rector of the Academy of National Economy and gosluzhby under President Vladimir Mau, the then presidential envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District Viktor Ishayev, Vnesheconombank Chairman Vladimir Dmitriev. But do notout. As explained by the moderator Congress Director of the Center for Strategic Research "North ¬-West" Vladimir Knyaginin, passing status of persons detained on the same days in St. Petersburg summit ¬-G20. A week before Congress on the Russian left the post of envoy and minister for the development of Far Eastern Federal District Viktor Ishayev, and the new president's representative in the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev, elevated in status to the Vice ¬ prime minister, was forced to ignore the event because of personalParticipation in the aftermath of the floods in the regions where declared a state of emergency. By the way, as noted Knyaginin, disaster is sure to not only affected the composition of the participants, but also threatens to cuts in government spending on programs for the Far East. For example, already there is talk about how to fold a state program to subsidize air travel to the Far East, to cancel the maternity capital since 2016. Oil, timber, gas and fish diluted intellect But back to the Congress. Especially that oneof his goals - to identify attractive sectors and projects for investment is private equity. During this meeting, the participants, perhaps, for the first time noticed not talk, but real steps in the development of the region not only as a commodity. By the usual interest of foreign partners to our resources to add more. The gaming business and recreational opportunities Maritime Holiday - this is another area where there are hunters invest. Also not left out educational projectsPalo. Experts are already debating: Does the university to pull Russian intellectual development vector of the territory? But most of the partners still see us as a supplier of energy products, timber, fish, and so concerned about the lack of infrastructure for transit. As aptly noted Knyaginin, foreign consumers have already done much to ensure the raw material needs of the growing Asia-Pacific region, even let down the road to the borders of Primorye, but the condition of the road network of checkpoints, customslogistics is a kind of lock that prevents them for export. ¬ Parliamentary Senior Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs of Japan Masadzi Matsuyama said that the Asia-Pacific region becomes the center of the world economy, hence the inevitable increase in the significance of the Russian Far East. Matsuyama drew attention to the growing importance of bilateral relations in April of this year for the first time in 10 years, Japan's prime minister visited Russia. He was accompanied by 120 representatives of big business in the country. That theirinterested in? Oil, gas and expansion of transport capacity. - We expect the development of partnership in the fuel and energy complex-¬ - said Masadzi Matsuyama. - Interest, first of all, the Sakhalin oil and gas projects, the construction of the plant "Vladivostok-LNG," the joint development of ore in Eastern Siberia. Big hopes on Beijing as a major logistics center of international importance. We are waiting for the modernization of the Trans-Siberian Railway and sea ports in the region. Also Masadzi Matsuyamaexpressed his hope for further development of cooperation in the fields of education and medicine, because, in his opinion, the seaside capital becomes the center of attraction of the intellectual potential in Asia Pacific. The governor of the Chinese province of Heilongjiang Lu Hao was more specific in regards to the development of cooperation. Although typically the representatives of China to the official meetings are solved only on general phrases about further establishing mutually beneficial relations, the need to strengthen business relations and cultural ties.But apparently, many hours of anguish at the Russian checkpoint forced the head of the border with the province of Primorye to speak bluntly. He offered to pay special attention to the creation of an infrastructure that would unite the country - the construction and modernization of railway lines and highways, the expansion of air routes. - Our territories are close by, but out-¬ for congestion at the Russian checkpoint 10:00 I had to get here, to the Far East investmentCongress - perplexed Lu Hao. - The condition of infrastructure plays an important role in the investment attractiveness of the region. Large businesses do not satisfy these conditions. Despite the logistical difficulties, Governor Lu Hao said that he believes Primorye one of the most attractive areas for cooperation in the Far Eastern Federal District, and called together the financial, human resources and raw adjacent territories to improve the competitiveness of the regional product. - Resources of the Far Eastrich and varied, but the reduction of the population minimizes these benefits - says Lu Hao. - It is necessary to create a joint venture for processing, development of natural resources in the region to supply finished products or semi-finished products for further processing on the markets of Japan, South Korea and Europe. Encouraging prospects for the Far East in the development of relations with the countries of Asia-Pacific region saw a special envoy of President of the World Bank, Mahmoud Moheildin. - Wesee: in the Far Eastern regions, exports have tripled, imports increased by six times - said Mahmoud Moheildin. - This indicates the active integration of Russia in the Asia-Pacific region. We have identified the position of the Russian Federation in the Pacific should be strengthened for the further development of the cooperation processes. The focus of the World Bank - the development of ports and port areas, the modernization of public infrastructure, and environmental projects. Chips will be an alternative notget hung up on the raw material orientation of Primorye territory called the chairman and CEO of Melco International Development Limited Lawrence Ho.

And it is able to bring considerable income and service - such as tourism. Chapter Melco among the advantages of Primorye calls the existence of free land. If it is also equipped with the appropriate infrastructure, its value will increase many times. According to Mr Ho worth considering: it is among the hundred most influential people in the Asia-Pacific region (according to the magazine «Asiamoney» in 2007). - Maritime is very promising as gaming, entertainment and recreation area - says Lawrence Ho. - Japanese, Chinese will be focused on the Vladivostok - it attracts them to their European style. In addition, the city is growing. Compared to what it was two years ago, the capital of Primorye much prettier. Lawrence Ho words with deeds: Melco Group intends to invest in an integrated entertainment resort "Primorye" $ 700 million. - Implementation of the project has already started, today we are working with an investor to develop the infrastructure of the gambling zone, construction of roads and utilities.

Aut.) - Said the governor. - It is planned five sites with all engineering infrastructure: industrial production, Agropark, building a cluster, a cluster of fishing, gaming area (integrated entertainment resort "Primorye"). The latter paid a lot of attention: increasing numbers of tourists are waiting up to 12 million people in 5 ¬ -7 years. In the region have invested a further APEC? As for the domestic investor, which attract the internal project calls by President Vladimir Putin, then for him also to be a struggle. No less fierce than the alien capitalist. In this regard, it was interesting to see the position on the selection of projects for funding one of the largest Russian investors - Vnesheconombank.

According to Irina Makiev, by far the country's nearly 400 investment areas that are waiting to be the best investors. And for them Primorye will have to overcome. Including elaborately projects. - The frequently asked question, will there be enough money for all the projects that will offer the Far East, the answer is: we will find the money for anything. Now the region is implemented or is under review 19 proposals, which cost about 470 billion rubles. To be clear: it is 13 thousand new jobs and about 4 thousand saved, - said Irina Makieva. She reminded the region: the criterion for attracting private capital are not only friendly format works with business, not just infrastructure conditions, but also well thought out proposals that involve the use of their own and - regional and municipal - the means, not only to bank loans.
