📅 On September 5, 2022, the 7th Eastern Economic Forum kicked off in Vladivostok.
The programme features over 70 business events, including panel sessions and roundtable discussions.
🌍 More than 4,000 people from 40 countries are expected to take part in this year’s forum.
An excerpt from the greetings by President of Russia Vladimir Putin:
💬 The main theme of this year’s Forum – ‘On the Path to a Multipolar World’ – seems particularly relevant and significant. The obsolete unipolar model is being replaced by a new international order based on the fundamental principles of justice and equality, as well as the recognition of the right of each state and people to their own sovereign path of development. Powerful political and economic centres are taking shape right here in the Asia-Pacific region, acting as a driving force in this irreversible process.

⭕️Read excerpts from the statement of Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the OSCE Alexander Volgarev "Russian Federation on the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances»
⚡️ The issue of enforced disappearances continues to be relevant in the OSCE area and beyond
👥 In Ukraine, persecution and enforced disappearances is being used by the Ukrainian security services to combat dissent - arbitrary incommunicado detention has been a practice in Kyiv-controlled Donbass since 2014
👤 The situation is dramatic in the US, whose authorities have created a network of "secret prisons" where torture and inhumane treatment are commonplace. They also have first-hand experience with regarard to particular vulnerability of migrants to enforced disappearances
🛟 The situation is more tragic only in the EU. The International Organization for Migration estimates that more than 2,000 migrants died and disappeared in 2021 while trying to reach EU countries, especially across the Mediterranean Sea

COMMENT OF THE RUSSIAN MISSION
❗ We have taken note of yesterday's statement made by the OHCHR Spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani on the license revocation of the printed edition of “Novaya Gazeta” in Russia.
🔹 While labelling the events as "another blow to the independence of Russian media," Ms. Shamdasani deliberately attaches little importance to the repeated violations by “Novaya Gazeta” representatives of the Russian legislation and the appropriate warnings that had been issued to them.
🔹 Moreover, the OHCHR Spokesperson, for unknown reasons, does not react in any way to numerous cases of de facto political reprisals against Russian media in various countries.
🔹 As of August 2022, over 100 Russian channels, news agencies and websites were subjected to various restrictions (from political persecution of media representatives to complete shutdown and access denial to information resources) in 40 countries (mainly in Europe).

Read in full
🔹 We welcome the decision of the IAEA leadership to establish a permanent presence of the Agency at the plant.
🔹 We have been consistently supporting the IAEA's efforts to ensure the nuclear safety and security of Ukraine's nuclear facilities. The Russian side did everything in its power to ensure that Rafael Grossi and his team safely reached the ZNPP, completed their work and returned to Vienna.
🔹 The Ukrainian side, realizing that it cannot use the IAEA visit to the ZNPP for its propaganda purposes, did everything to disrupt it.
🔹 Kiev did not even bother to hide its disappointment with the outcomes of the IAEA visit to ZNPP.
🔹 We continue to do our best to ensure the safe operation of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.
