Introduction

In the context of foreign policy, Russia acts as a Euro-Asian power with its interests in the Asia-Pacific Region (APR), where today the center of world politics is shifted and where multilateral integration processes in the field of economy and trade are actively formed. The position of the Russian Federation depends on the level of development of its Far Eastern region. This special territory with huge natural wealth occupies a strategically important geopolitical position. The Far East of the Russian Federation is the object of close attention of the leading Asia-Pacific countries and is regarded by many of them as the center of economically profitable investment and implementation of various projects. For the Russian leadership the issues of development of economic cooperation, strategic partnership with neighboring Asia-Pacific countries remain relevant.
