On 3 September, EEF moderators and speakers will share what they have discussed at the forum. Vladimir Putin will attend an online signature ceremony of major business documents related to investments in the region. The president is expected to deliver a speech at a plenary session of the EEF, with the heads of Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Argentina, China, India, and Thailand joining in.
