Anna Geroldovna Bezdudnaya, General Director of the Financial and Business Association of Euro-Asian Cooperation (FBA EAC) and Editor-in-Chief of the FBA EAC Herald, has received an official invitation to participate in the XXIX St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF 2026), scheduled to take place in Saint Petersburg from June 3 to 6, 2026.

SPIEF 2026 will be held under the motto: "Pragmatic Dialogue — The Path to a Stable Future." The Forum is traditionally conducted under the patronage and with the participation of the President of the Russian Federation, with the Roscongress Foundation serving as the organizer.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been designated as the Guest Country of SPIEF 2026, with its participation timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Russia and Saudi Arabia. Participation in the Forum has already been confirmed by China, Brazil, Egypt, member states of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), and countries of the Persian Gulf. A business dialogue between Russia and the United States is also anticipated.

The Forum's agenda includes over 150 sessions. Key thematic areas will encompass the development of artificial intelligence, digital sovereignty, demographic challenges, and the formation of a new model for the global economy. The traditional venue for the event will be the ExpoForum Convention and Exhibition Centre in Saint Petersburg. Participants will also enjoy a rich cultural program during the city's famous White Nights season, featuring the "St. Petersburg Seasons" Cultural Festival and the SPIEF Sports Games.

This invitation underscores the high standing and international recognition of FBA EAC's expertise on the global stage. It is expected that the Forum will provide a platform for working meetings and discussions on pressing issues related to further cooperation with key partners.
