The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum has started in Russia

ПМЭФ is one of the largest business events in the world. The main theme of the forum is "Common Values - the Basis for Growth in a Multipolar World." The event will be held in St. Petersburg from June 18 to 21.

In an interview with our correspondent, TV presenter and war correspondent for the Spas TV channel Andrey AFANASYEV noted:

"Dear Orthodox brothers, friends from Georgia.

The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum is the most important international platform in Russia right now. It is extremely important to say against the backdrop of the wonderful Church of the Smolensk Icon of the Mother of God that Russia is not only about money and politics, but first and foremost, a spiritual community. We have a common faith, a very difficult common history, but we are united in the most important things, and this is the most important thing."
