On October 22, the Nizhny Novgorod Economic Forum ended in Nizhny Novgorod. Thanks to the extensive business program, government representatives, Russian and foreign entrepreneurs, academia and development institutions had the opportunity to discuss practical solutions for the implementation of international projects. The main event was the plenary session "Promotion of international cooperation at the confluence of the Oka and the Volga". The event gathered more than 600 government representatives, business leaders and diplomats from 27 countries, including China, India, Brazil, Azerbaijan and Sri Lanka. The forum was organized by the government of the Nizhny Novgorod region and the OK agency. Nizhny Novgorod Region Governor Gleb Nikitin: Before 2022, almost 80% of our regions' exports went to the West - to Europe and the USA. However, over the past few years, the vast majority of enterprises in the Nizhny Novgorod region have managed to direct their sales to new markets - mainly India and China. Companies in our region and throughout Russia have learned to compete with leading global manufacturers in these challenging conditions. During the discussion, the speakers emphasized that as the world moves towards Russia, it develops new logistics routes and strengthens the ties within and - while the attempts to isolate our country are doomed to failure. Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Sergey Ryabkov: It is deeply symbolic that this forum is held in Nizhny Novgorod, where fairs have been held for centuries, helping to establish and develop trade and personal relations between Russia, Europe, Central Asia, India and Persia. I hope that the economic forum of Nizhny Novgorod will also become a meeting point for all those interested in doing business with our country.
