Russia announced a plan last year to shift its diplomatic and trade ties eastward from Europe to the Asia-Pacific region.
But experts say that the plan, nicknamed the “Pivot to Asia,” is already encountering difficulties and criticism.
Russia’s threatening posture toward Ukraine in recent months has drawn widespread international concern, but the Pivot to Asia has so far drawn less attention.
Toward the end of last year, the Washington, D.C.-based Jamestown Foundation summed up the obstacles to the “Pivot” as seen by Russia’s Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.
During his first trip to the Russian Far East as prime minister, Mishustin found an inadequate level of infrastructure support for international trade at a local seaport at Magadan.

However, in a shock Jan. 11 message to her more than 200,000 Instagram followers, Avksentiyeva announced that it was all over.
