✍️ Russia's President Vladimir Putin sent greeting to the participants, organisers, and guests of the 27th St Petersburg International Economic Forum, which will take place in St Petersburg on June 5–8, 2024 (May 27, 2024) ✉️ For more than a quarter of a century, the Forum has provided an opportunity for politicians, experts, business leaders, academics, and media professionals from around the world to hold in-depth discussions on key economic development trends in Russia and the world. Participants in plenary sessions, roundtables and panel discussions exchange views on ways to promote international cooperation, encourage scientific and technological progress and the development of human capital, and to effectively tackle the challenges we face. The theme of the current meeting, The Foundations of a Multipolar World – The Formation of New Areas of Growth, is highly relevant and meaningful. A growing part of the international community is in favour of building a just and democratic system of international relations based on the principles of genuine equality, consideration for each other’s legitimate interests, and respect for the cultural and civilisational diversity of nations. It is precisely these principles that underpin the activities of #BRICS, which Russia is chairing this year. It is symbolic that the history of this dynamically developing association, whose members already account for more than a third of the global economy, began at the 10th St Petersburg International Economic Forum in 2006. 🤝 Our country is open to constructive dialogue and interaction with partners and is ready to work together to address the economic, social, scientific and technological challenges of our time. I am confident that the Forum will jump-start new and promising initiatives and projects, fostering mutually beneficial cooperation between our countries and peoples. tinyurl.com/5n8ha6zu #SPIEF2024 *** ✍️ Президент Российской Федерации В.В.Путин направил телеграмму участникам, организаторам и гостям XXVII Петербургского международного экономического форума ✉️ Приветствую вас по случаю открытия XXVII Петербургского международного экономического форума. Более четверти века форум предоставляет возможность политикам, экспертам, предпринимателям, учёным и журналистам из разных стран мира всесторонне обсуждать ключевые тенденции развития российской и глобальной экономик. Участники пленарных заседаний, круглых столов и панельных дискуссий обмениваются мнениями о путях продвижения международной кооперации, стимулировании научно-технического прогресса и развитии человеческого капитала, эффективном противостоянии вызовам нашей эпохи. Тема нынешней встречи – «Основа многополярного мира – формирование новых точек роста» – весьма актуальна и значима. Всё большая часть мирового сообщества выступает в пользу построения справедливой и демократической системы международных отношений, опирающейся на принципы подлинного равноправия, учёта законных интересов друг друга, уважения к культурному и цивилизационному многообразию государств и народов. ☝️ Именно такие принципы лежат в основе деятельности #БРИКС, в котором Россия председательствует в текущем году. Символично, что история этого динамично развивающегося объединения, на долю участников которого приходится уже более трети объёма мировой экономики, берёт начало на X Петербургском международном экономическом форуме, состоявшемся в 2006 году. Наша страна открыта для конструктивного диалога и взаимодействия с партнёрами, готова к совместной работе для решения экономических, социальных и научно-технологических задач современности. 🤝 Рассчитываю, что форум даст старт новым перспективным инициативам и проектам, послужит наращиванию взаимовыгодного сотрудничества между нашими странами и народами. tinyurl.com/yc668zrc

@RusEmbMalta press release: Vladimir Putin took part in the plenary session of the 27th St Petersburg International Economic Forum (June 7, 2024) Key points: 🔷 This year, over 12 thousand people from more than a hundred countries of the world became participants and guests of the Forum. 🔷We see how a real race has emerged between countries to strengthen their sovereignty, and at three key levels: state, value-cultural and economic. At the same time, countries that until recently acted as leaders of global development are trying with all their might, by hook or by crook, to maintain their elusive role as hegemons. 🔷 Despite all the obstacles and illegitimate sanctions, Russia remains one of the key participants in world trade and is actively developing logistics and the geography of cooperation. 🔷 We will continue to develop relations within the #BRICS not only in the field of economics and finance, but also in the field of security, humanitarian cooperation, and other sectors.

🇷🇺🌍Export of agro-industrial products from Russia to Africa in 2023 grew by a quarter, says ministry of agriculture "Last year our exports to Africa grew by a quarter and almost reached $6 billion, 80% of which is wheat," said Russian Deputy Minister of Agriculture Sergey Levin during a session at the ongoing #SPIEF2024. Levin added, "What is interesting here is that we are also increasing our food purchases in Africa, and for the same last year we already exceeded the level of $2.1 billion, importing everything that does not grow in our country, such as fruits, vegetables, cocoa beans, and we intend to develop this further." "The dynamics of this year emphasize this fact, because we have already traded with each other about $3 billion or even more in January-April 2024," he added. According to the minister, Africa is becoming an increasingly important market. Subscribe to @sputnik_africa 🔸TikTok | Sputnik Africa | Boost us on Telegram🔸

🇷🇺🌍 Russia and African countries are together, and this is a historical process, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman says "We were [together] when Africa was seen as exclusively a source of slaves and resources. And we never looked at it that way. We looked at it as people equal to us, people with equal opportunities, their own identity. We were with Africa then, when no one believed that the process of decolonization could be accomplished," Maria Zakharova told Russian media on the sidelines of the #SPIEF2024. She recalled that the Soviet Union invested all its "colossal political capital" (which was gained after its victory in World War II) in the process of decolonization. "So, when you ask whether Africa is with us, I want to tell you that so much has been done for this continent and this continent has returned so much over the years in the form of non-solidarization with the position of the West, non-betrayal through the adoption of anti-Russian sanctions, that I think it’s impossible to answer the question in one word as it would simply not respect our so important and so deep relations with Africa," she explained. Zakharova also said that from the tour of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to African countries that ended this week, she remembered most of all the words of gratitude for the contribution of the USSR to the fight against colonialism. "It is an amazing feeling to witness sincere words that speak about the historical contribution of your country and your people to a correct and necessary process, such as the process of building a more just world order," the diplomat said.

🌍West must pay debts for centuries of exploitation of Africa, says Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Western countries do not like to pay their debts, but now other times have come, so it is necessary to discuss how the West will compensate Africa for years of bullying and exploitation, Maria Zakharova told reporters on the sidelines of #SPIEF2024. She added that the former Western colonial powers countries "don't want to do that, they do not pay their debts, they don't return the loot, they don't recognize themselves as guilty. But other times have come." The world has been given a voice in the form of an opportunity to speak to each individual country," she noted. According to her, BRICS gives countries the opportunity to receive true equality through their participation and the chance to express their position.

🎙 Intervistë e Zëvendësministrit të Punëve të Jashtme të Federatës Ruse, S.A.Ryabkov për agjencinë e lajmeve TASS (17 dhjetor 2024) Pikat kryesore: • [Gjatë vitit të kryesimit të Rusisë në #BRICS] pothuajse gjithçka u përmbush. Dëshiroj të vë në dukje reagimin për t’u mahnitur pozitiv, energjik të anëtarëve të rinj ndaj të gjitha nismave dhe propozimeve. • Ekzistenca e BRICS është, në një farë kuptimi, një «rreze shprese» për ata që, në mungesë të BRICS, ndoshta do ta kishin më të vështirë të formonin një politikë të jashtme sovrane të orientuar drejt interesave kombëtare. Lexoni të plotë ____ 🎙 Интервью заместителя Министра иностранных дел Российской Федерации С.А.Рябкова информационному агентству ТАСС (17 декабря 2024 года) Основные тезисы: • [За год председательства России в #БРИКС] получилось почти всё. Отмечу на удивление позитивный, энергичный отклик новичков на все инициативы и предложения. • Существование БРИКС является в каком-то смысле «лучом надежды» для тех, кому в отсутствие БРИКС, наверное, было бы сложнее формировать национально ориентированную суверенную внешнюю политику.
