    Yekaterinburg, April 21, 2025 — From April 21 to 25, the capital of the Urals will host the 15th anniversary edition of the Eurasian Youth Economic Forum (EYEF) — one of the largest international events bringing together young leaders, diplomats, scholars, and entrepreneurs from across the globe.

Among the guests are official delegations, international experts, university rectors, business leaders, and media representatives, underscoring the event’s growing influence on the global stage.

    The central theme of the forum will be the development of international youth cooperation and entrepreneurship amid global transformations. In 2025, special emphasis is placed on deepening partnerships with East Asian countries and integrating the Global South agenda into the forum’s strategic focus.

    A number of key sessions and roundtable discussions will feature experts and officials from China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, as well as nations across Africa and Latin America. These discussions will address sustainable development, digital transformation, food and climate security, and the exchange of educational and humanitarian initiatives.

During open sessions with students, ambassadors and consuls will engage in dialogue on the challenges and opportunities of global partnership, youth diplomacy, and intercultural exchange.

    The Media Forum, organized in partnership with Komsomolskaya Pravda, will host over 60 media representatives from the CIS and Asia. Dedicated sessions will explore the role of journalism in shaping the image of Global South countries in the international information space.

    The forum’s activities will span more than 14 international and Russian venues, including universities and cultural centers in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Serbia, Tajikistan, Sri Lanka, China, and other countries — reflecting the event’s expanding geography and thematic reach.

    The scientific and cultural program will include international competitions for school and university students, the Anatoly Karpov “Ural Queen” rapid chess tournament featuring world chess stars, as well as dozens of expert lectures and master classes.

    The 15th EYEF reaffirms its role as a unique platform for youth integration into global processes, fostering sustainable connections between North and South, East and West — contributing to the creation of a more just and multipolar world.

  • GMIS-2019 will drive the Fourth industrial revolution

    GMIS-2019 will drive the Fourth industrial revolution

    The GMIS-2019 is about to take off on July, 9. The summit is a joint venue of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the United Arab Emirates. Russia provides great opportunities for the development of industry and high technology. The UNIDO head Li Yong has repeatedly given positive assessments of the close cooperation of the international organization and Russia. The cooperation includes Russia’s support of participation in large-scale industrialization programs in developing countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, which contribute to a positive image in these regions. Besides, Russia also provides industrial development and maintenance projects in Armenia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. The signing of a cooperation agreement with the Eurasian Economic Commission and the provision of platforms for the St. Petersburg International Forum and GMIS-2019 were also noted by the UNIDO head as appositive move. In addition, the approaches of Russia and UNIDO to the solution of the socio-economic problems today are very common. The summit provides an opportunity to use all the necessary potential of the participating countries to expand cooperation with each other. The geographical location of Ekaterinburg on the border of Europe and Asia contributes to the development of economic relations of European entrepreneurs with partners from China, Japan and other Asian countries. The examples of the World Cup games in 2018 and the international industrial exhibition INNOPROM emphasize the availability of infrastructure facilities in the city for hosting major international events and accommodate up to 40,000 tourists per day. The organizer of the summit is preparing an exhibition of 100 startups, which includes the most promising sectors – the drivers of growth of the world economy and the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The willingness of international representatives to take part in the summit testifies their attitude towards Russia as a reliable trade and economic partner, which fulfills its obligations, despite US attempts to isolate Russia from the system of international relations.
