The Russian Foreign Ministry Reception House became the venue for a session of the RSPP Bureau featuring Sergey Lavrov, the Russian Foreign Minister, as a keynote speaker. The session focused on economic diplomacy and boosting private – public partnership in international affairs.
The session endorsed the motion put forward by RSPP and the Foreign Ministry to strengthen the interaction between the Ministry and RSPP, the latter being the country’s leading business association, on securing Russia’s economic interests abroad.
The Minister praised the active role RSPP members have been playing in the Foreign Ministry Business Council. A decision was taken to set up a number of dedicated task-forces within the Council.
Also prominent on the session agenda was the issue of empowering business community members to work on intergovernmental commissions.
Mr. Lavrov invited RSPP members to make a fuller use of the Foreign Ministry’s channels to move certain PPP projects started by RSPP members through the UN European Economic Commission.
