Russia’s northeasternmost region Chukotka will present investment projects in tin, oil and gas production at the Eastern Economic Forum, due in Vladivostok on September 6-7, press service of the region’s government said.

Chukotka will be presenting its project at the forum for the first time, TASS wrote. "This year, the Chukotka Autonomous District will for the first time make investment presentations at the third Eastern Economic forum," the press service said.
