Themed “The Formation of New Centers of Growth as the Cornerstone of a Multipolar World” the forum brings together the world’s leading politicians and businessmen to identify and discuss the problems that Russia, emerging markets and the global community are facing, and to find solutions to these problems.

The forum’s main business program is divided into four thematic areas: “Transition to a Multipolar World Economy,” “Goals and Objectives of Russia’s New Economic Cycle,” “Technologies for Leadership,” and “Healthy Society, Traditional Values and Social Development: The Priority of the State.”

Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister Tran Luu Quang is scheduled to deliver a speech at the opening ceremony on Thursday. Vietnamese businesses are expected to share information about Vietnam’s resilience and ability to achieve set goals, especially in today’s changing world conditions.
