Vladimir Putin Sent Greetings to Participants of St. Petersburg International Economic Forum

Russian President Vladimir Putin has sent his greetings to the participants, organizers, and guests of the 26th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. The theme of this year’s Forum is ‘Sovereign Development as the Basis of a Just World: Joining Forces for Future Generations’.

Russian President noted that at SPIEF 2023 scientists, entrepreneurs, politicians and public figures will discuss key trends and changes in the Russian and global economy, which are driven by the ongoing formation of a multipolar world and efforts by most countries to secure political and economic independence.

Vladimir Putin emphasized it is vital to make the most of the opportunities that are presenting themselves in the global economy and to focus on attaining technological and financial sovereignty, forging strong ties, developing optimal logistics routes, improving infrastructure and tackling inequality and poverty.

Vladimir Putin also mentioned boosting the labour market as one of the priorities: “In order to achieve this, there needs to be a close partnership between the state and the  business community, particularly with regard to introducing lean manufacturing technology and modernizing enterprises. And of course, more work is needed to optimize professional training and retraining programmes and improve the national employment service.”

Russian President expressed his confidence that the Forum will continue to help attain global economic objectives and serve as an example of constructive dialogue that leads to results.
