Russia Looks East

Available for over a year

The second of our special programmes live from Russia's far east, this one examining how the country's economy increasingly relies on China and its other neighbours. We also hear about its links with secretive North Korea. Roger Hearing broadcasts from the city of Vladivostock where several of the most powerful world leaders are due to meet to cement political and economic ties. South Korea's president Park Geun-hye, Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe, and China's premier Li Keqiang, will meet Russian president Vladimir Putin at the Eastern Economic Forum, but deals might be done? Plus, relations between Russia's far east and its secretive neighbour North Korea, and how the region is gearing itself towards a growing number of Chinese tourists. And senators in the Brazilian capital vote to impeach president Dilma Rousseff. (Picture: A Chinese tourist in Vladivostock. Credit: Marie Keyworth)
