In a quotation to the Government media, Governor Vasily Orlov said "We have good prospects for cooperation with Japan. The market of the Asian region, including the markets of Japan and South Korea, is a promising direction for us. In my opinion, Japan is a good growth point; therefore, studying the language and culture of this country is all part of the process of building foreign economic relations.”

In 2018, the Amur Region achieved:

• 1st place in the Far Eastern Federal District (FEFD) for the production of soy and soybean oil;

• 4th place in the FEFD on foreign direct investment;

• 27th place in the Russian Federation in terms of investment attractiveness.

Manufacturers and entrepreneurs of the Amur Region will meet with representatives of Japanese companies and associations interested in purchasing the presented products and discuss potential cooperation.
