, in detail about these and other topics from vladivostok the main day of the Eastern Economic Forum Plenary session with the participation of the president of russia 10 years ago, the head of state set the key task of developing the far east. Now it is clear that this was done, firstly, in a timely manner. Secondly , this task has arisen in the new geopolitical realities.

And its four pm here this thursday the fourteenth of december and in fact is only just wrapped up what are we talking about we talked about that annual q. And a russian president Vladimir Putin is just finished fielding four hours of nonstop questions a very diverse ones too from the press heres a short recap of what was said on some of the most pressing russian and International Topics some for you.

Its all part of the transition that goes on. Thank you. One bu
