Among the organisers of the forum are the Italian non-profit Conoscere Eurasia Association, the Roscongress Foundation and the UAE Chamber of Commerce and Industry. “The event is aimed at developing an open multilateral dialogue and equal co-operation within Greater Eurasia. The expansion of investment, industrial, trade and technological capabilities of this space is an important task,” they told sb.by

The forum will discuss prospects for co-operation in energy, industry, finance, technology, transport, agriculture, and the social sphere. It will gather representatives of government and business circles, and among them there will be also political and public figures from Europe and Asia, including Russia, the United Arab Emirates, Italy and other states.

“The Verona Eurasian Economic Forum 2024 is a key business event of the macro-region, which is aimed at finding mutually beneficial solutions in the field of international co-operation. The vector of development of associations and countries of Greater Eurasia is being formed on its side-lines,” Anton Kobyakov, the Adviser to the President of the Russian Federation, said.

“For the 17th year now, the forum has been creating excellent conditions for free communication, business contacts and discussions among business representatives

from the countries of Greater Eurasia. This unique international event creates an opportunity for a dialogue between entrepreneurs in the space from the Atlantic to the Pacific and Indian oceans in difficult modern conditions. Ras Al Khaimah has been chosen as its venue this year, taking into consideration the interests of the Emirati side and the growing global influence of the UAE which has joined BRICS in 2024," Professor Antonio Fallico, the President of Conoscere Eurasia Association, noted.

A rich cultural programme is being prepared, and it will be open not only to the forum participants, but also local residents. In particular, the New Italian Cinema Events (N.I.C.E.) Film Festival, a retrospective show of films by Soviet and Russian director K. G. Shakhnazarov, a symphony orchestra concert conducted by Yuri Bashmet with participation of Italian tenor Vittorio Grigolo as soloist are planned.

An exhibition of folk crafts from Italy, Russia and the UAE will be organised as well.
