At one of the plenary sessions of the Eastern Economic Forum 2022, RSBC Chairman Nikolay Volobuev emphasized the importance of developing new mechanisms for adjudicating legal disputes: "Today Asia-Pacific region is the largest global economic center. According to experts, over the past two decades the trade turnover between Russia and the countries of the Asia-Pacific region has increased several times. The development of trade and industrial relations between Russia and APR countries and the increasing number of foreign trade contracts should provide modern and efficient mechanisms for dispute resolution; promote in-depth study of international commercial law and arbitration".
