    THE 41ST SESSION OF THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM TO OPEN IN 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.
