The greeting reads, in particular:

“Over the years your forum has established itself as an effective platform for direct dialogue between business communities, the exchange of experience and fresh ideas, and the launch of promising projects. It is no coincidence that the forum’s popularity in Russia and abroad is growing, and that the topics of discussion and the geographical origin of its participants are as well. The world is changing rapidly and economic change is one of the motors of this development. This meeting’s agenda includes a whole range of issues that have a global dimension. They include Russia’s role in the international economy, new horizons for partnership in energy and high-technology, and joint investment programmes.

I am confident that specific recommendations designed to further strengthen the Russian economy and promote its integration into the global economy will be developed during the forum.“
