Meeting
with members of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF)
International Advisory Board and representatives
of the international investment community.
President
of Russia Vladimir Putin: Good afternoon friends, ladies
and gentlemen,
I would
like to thank you for coming to Russia and meeting together
in St Petersburg again.
I must
say that many of our friends, including heads of sovereign investment
funds, always come to the St Petersburg International Economic Forum.
But today is the first time so many directors of sovereign investment
funds from Europe, the United States, Asia and the Middle East
gathered in one venue and we are certainly glad that this meeting is
taking place in St Petersburg, on the sidelines
of the international forum. Investors with over $11 trillion
in total capital are present here today.
I suggest
that we use today to discuss opportunities for expanding our
cooperation, our partnership, and specific mutually beneficial projects.
To create predictable and appealing conditions for their
implementation, we are consistently improving the investment climate
in Russia, and conducting a balanced, responsible macroeconomic
policy.
