The Roscongress Foundation is a socially oriented non-financial development institution and a major organizer of nationwide and international conventions; exhibitions; and business, public, youth, sporting, and cultural events. It was established in pursuance of a decision by the President of the Russian Federation.

The Foundation was established in 2007 with the aim of facilitating the development of Russia’s economic potential, promoting its national interests, and strengthening the country’s image. One of the roles of the Foundation is to comprehensively evaluate, analyse, and cover issues on the Russian and global economic agendas. It also offers administrative services, provides promotional support for business projects and attracting investment, helps foster social entrepreneurship and charitable initiatives.

Each year, the Foundation’s events draw participants from 208 countries and territories, with more than 15,000 media representatives working on-site at Roscongress’ various venues. The Foundation benefits from analytical and professional expertise provided by 5,000 people working in Russia and abroad.

The Foundation works alongside various UN departments and other international organizations, and is building multi-format cooperation with 180 economic partners, including industrialists’ and entrepreneurs’ unions, financial, trade, and business associations from 81 countries worldwide, and 186 Russian public organizations, federal and legislative agencies, and federal subjects.

The Roscongress Foundation has Telegram channels in Russian t.me/Roscongress, English – t.me/RoscongressDirect, Spanish – t.me/RoscongressEsp and Arabic t.me/RosCongressArabic. Official website and Information and Analytical System of the Roscongress Foundation:roscongress.org.

Russia – ASEAN
What needs to be done, in our opinion, in the near future. The first, of course, is finance. If there is no possibility of cooperation in the financial and banking sector, then, of course, it is very difficult to service any foreign trade operations. Therefore, the first thing to naturally continue to develop is the financial sector. This, of course, is the possibility of payments in national currencies, and the recognition of bank cards

Transport communication, as you know, is now quite seriously complicated. In order for us to move forward, we need to solve logistics issues, and this applies to both air transport and sea transport

Russia – ASEAN
We increased its volume of trade in 2021 compared to the previous year, 2020, by 27.5%, which is almost USD 20 billion. There is growth, but there are, of course, even greater prospects for growth. <...> Russia and the ASEAN countries probably have one of the most successful trade structures. It is not closed only on energy carriers, but has a fairly wide range of products, which we supply to the ASEAN countries, and we receive from the ASEAN countries

The New SCO Business Agenda in Today’s World
The SCO was initially created to fight terrorism and drug trafficking. [The Organization] focused on security in border nations. Along the way, multilateral cooperation began to develop, and economic cooperation started to come to the fore. And today, I believe that is the dominant idea of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. It is growing, and has many – at least six – countries applying to join. For now, they are observers

Russia–Republic of Korea Business Dialogue
Russia’s leadership also has concerns regarding the opportunities offered by the Trans-Siberian Railway. It is indeed a problem, because it is a major factor hindering economic growth in Russia, both in terms of foreign trade, and in terms of domestic transportation. We expect carrying capacity to be expanded in the near future

One requirement to address in the near future is the creation of a regulatory framework which will reassure people that their personal data is protected. Similarly, businesses should feel that they are protected. <...> It will be difficult to resolve this issue unilaterally

Business Associations in Russia and Africa: A Starting Point for Long-Term Business Partnership
Our colleagues in Africa don’t know much about modern-day Russia, the conditions for business, or the skills that Russian enterprises possess today. And we know little about each country in particular. So one of the main objectives, perhaps the most important one at this stage, is information and the opportunity to get to know each other

The Eurasian Economic Union and Africa: Trends and Opportunities to Develop Integrated Processes and Collaborate
It is very difficult to build a business without political agreements. In any country, no matter how democratic, business always has to look to the authorities, their opinion on how much they can cooperate with specific countries and their economies, and how this cooperation is encouraged by their own leaders

Infrastructure of the Future: Creating New Focal Points in the Far East
In various developed countries, the convention sector accounts for 1.5% of GDP. The UK is a leader in this field. The country hosts numerous events of this kind, which is clearly due to its status as a financial centre. Conventions account for 2.9% of its GDP. In our country, this figure is 0.2%. Clearly, we are still at the learning stage, and are a long way away from leading nations and the global average

The history of our relationship, which was previously a dialogue, goes back twenty years. At the meeting held in Singapore, a new agreement was signed, the level of partnership was raised to strategic interaction. We hope that the level of political relations, which we consider quite high, will have an effect on economic relations as well

Quality of Life for the Older Generation: Programme Implementation
The society, as of today, is not ready to cooperate with the older generation, because none of our senior people believes it to be an infringement of their rights – the fact that they are not hired after they turn 50. Everyone thinks that this is normal, that this is just the way it is: ‘I am 50 already, so they do not want me anywhere’,
