On 11 September 2018 at the Eastern Economic Forum, the Roscongress
Foundation agreed to cooperate with a number of Russian and international
companies and associations. Appropriate accords were signed with the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry
(KCCI), China National Cuture&Art Co., Ltd (CNCAC), the
China National Arts & Crafts (Group) Corporation, the Russian Academy of
Sciences, and Women’s View Public Diplomacy Foundation.
“The
Roscongress Foundation organizes large-scale international events both in
Russia and overseas, therefore developing communication with foreign and
Russian companies, non-profit organizations and authorities is a focus area for
us,” emphasized Alexander Stuglev,
Chairman of the Board and CEO of the Roscongress Foundation.
Kim Jundong,
Executive Vice Chairman of the Korea
Chamber of Commerce and Industry stated: “I would like to express my
compliments upon signing the Memorandum of Understanding between the
Roscongress Foundation and the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry that took
place a year after the New Northern Policy was announced [by Moon Jae-in,
President of the Republic of Korea]”.
He
added that “as the
leading economic organization, the Korea
Chamber of Commerce and Industry will continue to consistently support bilateral
exchanges and international promotion of both countries’ businesses
by the agency of the Roscongress Foundation”.
During the ceremony, Veronika
Peshkova, President of the Women’s View Public Diplomacy Foundation, noted
that female leadership and entrepreneurship projects was a promising area of
international cooperation both in bilateral and multilateral relations.
“Today developing gender equality and women’s economic empowerment is on
the agenda of the leading international organizations and associations, like
the UN, APEC, BRICS, and others. Building government-business dialogue and
supporting public diplomacy initiatives doesn’t just benefit specific
businesses, but the society as a whole,” believes Ms. Peshkova.
Together with the
Association of Lawyers of Russia (all-Russian non-governmental organization),
the Roscongress Foundation signed trilateral cooperation agreements with Primorye Territory and Chukotka Autonomous Area. This document
aims to promote investment and export potential of Russia’s regions and support
regional brands. The parties agreed to cooperate in organizing a series of

federal districts. These sessions started 2015 and became an efficient tool to
support Russia’s promising regional products both domestically and
overseas.
