DAVOS
The 41st session of the World Economic Forum will open in Davos
on Wednesday.
Europe's highest mountain town located in Swiss Alps will host the
heads of state of more than 30 countries, including more than 30 heads
of state, such as French President Nicolas Sarkozy, German Chancellor
Angela Merkel, Mexican President Felipe Calderon and British Prime
Minister Tony Blair.
Eight heads of national banks, 50 heads of leading international
organizations, more than 250 representatives of civil society and
the heads of dozens of non-governmental organizations.
The Russian delegation comprises Russian Foreign Minister Sergei
Lavrov, Minister of Economic Development Elvira Nabiullina, First
Vice-Premier Igor Shuvalov, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, Russian
presidential aide Arkady Dvorkovich and Sberbank chief German Gref.
Initially, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev was supposed to be the
forum's main reporter. But he decided to cut his visit to Switzerland
because of this week's bomb blast at Moscow's Domodedovo airport.
"Because of the tragedy the program of my stay in Davos will be
considerably cut. I decided to participate in the forum because
it's an important international ground for presenting our position,"
the president said in an interview with the Vedomosti newspaper.
Medvedev believes that Davos is the most famous place for communicating
with the heads of state and government and with representatives of
the business community.
"Our task is to promote our abilities and openly speak about the strong
sides of the Russian economy and our legal system. We should be no
less open about our difficulties, weaknesses or unsolved problems.
It seems to me that such an open dialogue will provide a better
understanding in what state Russia is in," Medvedev emphasized.
"We are really waiting for investments. We want quick recovery and
growth in the post-crisis period," President Medvedev stressed.
Medvedev is going to address his speech in Davos to all those who
are interested in developing economic ties with Russia, invest money
in it, create joint enterprises, search for new points of growth and
modernize the Russian economy.
"I am also going to speak about the world we live in, about what we
do, the problems of the past decades and with what we should go into
the second half of the 21st century," the Russian president said.
