The Russian president is expected to answer questions on domestic policy, foreign affairs, and key global developments
Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to meet shortly with the heads of international news agencies on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
The meeting, a traditional part of Putin's SPIEF schedule, is being held at the Konstantinovsky Palace near St. Petersburg. According to presidential aide Yury Ushakov, the conversation will take place in a question-and-answer format and will focus on "current aspects of the domestic and foreign policy of the Russian Federation," as well as major international developments.
Last year's meeting included representatives of news agencies from the US, UK, Germany, France, Spain, Türkiye, China, Vietnam, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Indonesia, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
The annual forum, one of Russia's key international business and investment events, is being held from June 3 to 6. Participants from more than 100 countries are attending, including political and business delegations.
The forum's main plenary session will take place on Friday, where Putin is expected to deliver a major speech focusing on economic and political issues.
