FORUM «ASEAN-RUSSIA ANIMATION MARKET»
Against the backdrop of increasing demand for local and family-oriented content, the rapid development of digital platforms, the growing influence of children's and youth media consumption, and expanding opportunities for co-production among friendly countries, there is a growing need for a dedicated international platform that fosters professional dialogue between the Russian Federation and the ASEAN Member States in the field of animation. The ASEAN-Russia Animation Market is an international forum held as part of the 5th Animur International Animation Film Festival in Khabarovsk, Russian Federation.
The forum will bring together representatives of animation studios, production companies, producers, distributors, educational institutions, development agencies, digital platforms, festivals, foundations, and professional associations from Russia and the ASEAN region, including Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste, and Vietnam. The forum serves as the flagship offline component of the Russia-ASEAN Animation Connect initiative, which also includes a comprehensive study of the animation industries in Russia and ASEAN countries, the launch of a bilingual information platform, the ASEAN-Russia Animation Lab, an international online professional laboratory for animation creators and industry professionals.

Your Excellencies,
Distinguished Guests,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I would like to extend my warmest greetings to all participants of the ASEAN-Russia Animation Market. This Animation Market is a timely opportunity to build on our longstanding ASEAN-Russia partnership since establishing our relations in 1996.
I am pleased to note that the new Comprehensive Plan of Action to Implement the ASEAN-Russian Federation Strategic Partnership for 2026 to 2031, underscores deepening collaboration in the socio-cultural and creative fields, as well as amplifying greater awareness and appreciation of our respective traditions, heritage and cultures through cultural activities, digital content development and film festivals.
Distinguished Guests,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I would like to extend my warmest greetings to all participants of the ASEAN-Russia Animation Market. This Animation Market is a timely opportunity to build on our longstanding ASEAN-Russia partnership since establishing our relations in 1996.
I am pleased to note that the new Comprehensive Plan of Action to Implement the ASEAN-Russian Federation Strategic Partnership for 2026 to 2031, underscores deepening collaboration in the socio-cultural and creative fields, as well as amplifying greater awareness and appreciation of our respective traditions, heritage and cultures through cultural activities, digital content development and film festivals.
The creative economy now accounts for around 3.1% of global GDP and is projected to grow significantly by 2030, driven increasingly by digital content and creative services. The animation market is a compelling example of this growth, demonstrating how creative talent can be transformed into intellectual property (IP),
export revenues and cultural influence, while creating new opportunities for skills development, employment and cross-border collaboration.
ASEAN’s growing animation industry demonstrates the region’s potential, from Singapore’s The Violinist, which received the Cristal Award for a Feature Film at this year’s Annecy International Film Festival, to Malaysia's Upin & Ipin and BoBoiBoy, which have developed into successful regional IP franchises, and Indonesia’s Jumbo, which became the highest-grossing Southeast Asian animated film of all time. In this context, the ASEAN-Russia Animation Market can help translate our longstanding partnership into practical opportunities for the creative sector.

I am particularly pleased that this event is being held here in Khabarovsk, providing a platform to strengthen connections between the Russian Far East and ASEAN’s creative communities. I hope that the discussions, screenings, project presentations and B2B engagements will generate an exchange of ideas and, more importantly, new partnerships. Let us use this opportunity not only to showcase what ASEAN and Russia have achieved, but also to explore what we can create together.
In closing, I would like to express my appreciation to the organisers, the Russian authorities and all partners involved in this initiative for bringing our creative communities together. May this gathering in Khabarovsk open new avenues for creative cooperation and contribute to further strengthening the friendship and strategic partnership between ASEAN and the Russian Federation.
