Russian President Vladimir Putin will attend a plenary session and deliver a speech on Friday.

The 28th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) opened in Russia’s second-largest city on Wednesday. It will bring together all parties to explore effective approaches to addressing global challenges. This year’s forum, “Shared Values: The Foundation of Growth in a Multipolar World,” runs until Saturday.

According to Anton Kobyakov, adviser to the Russian President and executive secretary of the SPIEF Organising Committee, nearly 20,000 representatives from 140 countries and regions, as well as heads of several international organisations, have confirmed their participation in this year’s forum.

This forum is held when the global economy is facing severe challenges. It is poised to be a platform for discussing issues ranging from accelerating digitalisation to addressing climate change and formulating specific, practical solutions that can adapt the global economy to new conditions.

The forum includes more than 150 events, with entrepreneurs from Russia, China, the United States, Türkiye, Brazil, Vietnam, India, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, African and Latin American countries, and the European Union and Association of Southeast Asian Nations member states engaged in business talks. Russian President Vladimir Putin will attend a plenary session and deliver a speech on Friday.
