Vladimir Putin Sends Greetings to Participants of St. Petersburg International Economic Forum
The official website of the President of the Russian Federation has published his greetings to participants, organizers and guests of St. Petersburg International Economic Forum 2018. The slogan of this year’s forum is Creating an Economy of Trust.
In his greetings, the President expressed his confidence that ideas and initiatives developed during the forum would facilitate the recovery and growth of the world economy:
“During open discussions at the Forum, leading Russian and foreign politicians, academics, experts, corporate executives and business association leaders, and representatives from the media and civil society will discuss key questions on the global agenda, and the current state and future prospects of the world economy. Together, they will consider how to steer the world economy towards steady growth. By harnessing the wealth of scientific and technological potential which is rapidly expanding in digital and other areas today, we can improve quality of life and boost stable and harmonious development in all nations and across the world as a whole.
A 21st-century economy that is effective, built on forward-thinking business models, and socially responsible, and that adheres to strict environmental standards and takes account of people’s real needs is something that is in all of our interests. If we are to meet these challenges, it is important that we do not allow artificial limitations to curb multilateral trade, finance, manufacturing, or investment. We need to correct the imbalances that exist in global markets. And it is crucial that we strive towards increasing mutual trust, promoting wide-ranging integration processes, and realizing large-scale and promising projects. Russia is always open to this kind of partnership and cooperation”.
Vladimir Putin called for increasing mutual trust, promoting wide-ranging integration processes and realizing large-scale and promising projects. The President emphasized that Russia was always open to this kind of partnership and cooperation.
