OREANDA-NEWS  The main topic of this year's St. Petersburg International Economic Forum will be "The foundation of multipolarity — the formation of new growth centers," according to the message from the Roscongress Foundation.

"The main theme of the 27th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum is "The foundation of multipolarity is the formation of new growth centers," the forum's website says.

As Anton Kobyakov, Adviser to the President of Russia, Executive Secretary of the SPIEF Organizing Committee, noted, the work of the forum is more relevant today than ever.

"We live in an era of tectonic changes: the technological structure is changing, the system of international relations is being transformed. Over the past year, the crisis of trust between the countries has only intensified, and in these circumstances it is especially important to maintain an equal constructive dialogue between business circles from different parts of the world," he said.

The main business program of the SPIEF is divided into four thematic blocks, which correspond to the main mission of the forum to maintain the global balance of power and build a multipolar international system, providing conditions for development based on a unifying and constructive agenda dictated by Russia's national interests.

The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum will be held from 5 to 8 June.
