Dear friends!

On behalf of the Ministry of Sport of the Russian Federation and myself personally, I am pleased to welcome the guests of the 8th Eastern Economic Forum. 

As per tradition, the pavilion of the Russian Ministry of Sport is devoted to the Sport is the Norm of Life federal project, which is a component of the Demography project. This pavilion serves as a platform for presenting sports initiatives and showcasing the achievements of sports federations and physical culture organizations. It acts as a hub where regional authorities, sports federations, and business representatives convene and engage in discussions. The pavilion receives nearly 20,000 visitors annually during the Forum.

In the year of the 100th anniversary of the Ministry of Sport of the Russian Federation as the state body dedicated to managing the field of physical culture and sport, a large-scale sports programme has been planned. This includes the 'GTO Games 2023' 2nd Open Cup of the Far East. For the first time, teams from the new regions will participate in this expansive sports project.

During the Forum, everyone will be able to take part in Ready for Labour and Defence and test their physical fitness level. 

I am confident that the guests and participants of the Eastern Economic Forum will spend their time in the pavilion, benefiting from it, and becoming acquainted with the principles of a healthy lifestyle!

About pavilion

In 2023, at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, as is tradition, the Ministry of Sport of the Russian Federation will exhibit two pavilions. These are the ‘Sport – a vital norm’ business pavilion and the ‘Arena GTO’ pavilion. Guests of the pavilions will be able to spend their time at business sessions and enjoy interactive sports activities in an interesting and healthy way. 

The ‘Sport – a vital norm’ pavilion is an accessible platform for business sessions and the signing of agreements in the field of physical culture and sport. As part of the EEF, the pavilion will discuss the issues of high-performance sport and international cooperation, as well as new formats of sports competitions. 

This year's activities in the pavilion will be dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Ministry of Sport of the Russian Federation as the state body dedicated to managing the field of physical culture and sport.

The ‘Arena GTO’ pavilion serves as the hub for sporting activities during EEF 2023. The 'GTO Games 2023' 2nd Open Cup of the Far East will take place there. Furthermore, attendees at the arena will have the opportunity to fulfill the criteria of the Ready for Labour and Defence All-Russian Physical Culture and Sports Complex (GTO) and find out what grade their physical fitness corresponds to. 

In front of the pavilions, sports federations will present activities for Forum participants and talk about the history and development of their sports.
