Programme of the XVII International Economic Forum

Access to the event is restricted (according to protocol lists).

The Intergovernmental Russian-Indonesian Commission is a key coordinating mechanism for the development of bilateral relations between Russia and Indonesia. Its tasks include not only discussing, but also practical solutions to issues related to the expansion of trade, economic, investment, industrial, energy, infrastructure, financial, scientific, technological, tourism and humanitarian cooperation.

The meeting is of particular interest to representatives of government authorities, industry associations, export-oriented companies and research centers, as it allows them to see how the interstate dialogue is transformed into instruments of real cooperation. For the business community, participation in such an event is valuable not only for the content of the speeches, but also for the opportunity to grasp the long-term architecture of the economic priorities of the two countries, shaping the contours of future joint projects.

Co-Chairman from the Russian side: Denis Manturov, First Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation.

Co-Chair from the Indonesian side: Airlangga Hartarto, Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia.

The Festival of Eastern Cultures, organised by Kazan Federal University in partnership with the Al-Hadara Arab Culture Centre, aims to foster cultural dialogue and strengthen international academic and humanitarian cooperation. The programme features photography and art exhibitions, video and poster contests, open lectures, language and script workshops, and cultural performances by representatives from Islamic world countries.

Attending the festival is particularly valuable for those who grasp that sustainable international cooperation begins not with contracts, but with the intellectual capacity to perceive another culture not as exoticism, but as a full world of meanings.

Industrial tours cover five key areas, including the industrial sector, agriculture and food industry, chemical sector, medicine, IT innovations, and education. Such site visits give a practical dimension to the forum: they allow participants to see not just declarations, but real production, technological, and management practices that make Tatarstan a prominent participant in international industrial and investment dialogue.

The International Chefs Cup is a prestigious culinary competition with the participation of masters from different countries, including national cuisines, original sets, open screenings and tastings. Within the framework of the forum, this event should be understood not only as a gastronomic event, but also as a form of cultural diplomacy, where the language of taste, craft and symbolic hospitality becomes a means of intercivilizational communication.

For professionals of the restaurant industry, food manufacturers, halal certification experts and event economics specialists, the event is of particular value, as it clearly shows how gastronomy is becoming a tool for branding territories, export promotion and cultural influence.

In the context of the transformation of international relations, municipal diplomacy is coming to the fore. Twin cities, public diplomacy, cultural and educational exchanges are becoming not just a backdrop for big politics, but an independent instrument of influence. But the old mechanisms don't work the way they used to, and the new ones haven't been tested yet. This round table will bring together those who form and implement Russia's humanitarian presence in the countries of the Islamic world: representatives of the Russian Foreign Ministry, the Kazan Mayor's Office, the Moscow government, deputies of the State Duma, heads of partner Russian houses in Iraq, Oman, Libya, Mali, Niger and other countries, as well as the Spiritual Administration of Muslims.

What models of interaction between Russian houses in the Islamic world and twin cities have already shown their effectiveness, and what elements of these models can be scaled or adapted for other territories?

The main task of the session: to form an understanding and practical approaches to the involvement of partner Russian houses in the development of cooperation between twin cities, as well as to identify possible models and formats of such interaction.

Organizer: Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI).

Sukuk is one of the most complex and simultaneously most sought-after instruments of the Islamic financial market. However, the success of a sukuk issuance depends not only on the approval of the Sharia board. The key risks lie in structuring, asset management, and correct financial reporting. This is where discrepancies between investor expectations and actual performance most often arise.

AAOIFI — the global standard-setter for Islamic accounting, auditing, and governance — is conducting a workshop that bridges this gap. The format is not lecture-based: from concept to case study.

Participants will go through the full cycle: from asset selection and legal structuring to post-issuance management and reporting in accordance with AAOIFI standards. A comprehensive case study will allow participants to encounter real-world problems: what to do if an asset ceases to generate income, how to disclose information during partial early redemption, and how to reconcile the requirements of regulators, Sharia, and international standards?

Moderator: Khondamir Nusratkhuzhayev, Head of the Accounting and Reporting Department of the Islamic Development Bank (ISDB).

●        Andrey Zhuravlev, Senior Researcher at the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IV RAS));

Real cases, practical tools and insights from those who have already gone this way!

Special attention is paid to the potential of Afghanistan as a transit bridge for Russian goods to South Asian markets.

The standard of living of the population is not only income statistics, but also the ability of the state to quickly respond to the vulnerability of families, create working elevators for the unemployed and help those who cannot help themselves. At this session, three countries — Russia, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan — will present measurable social support mechanisms rather than declarations on the same platform for the first time.

The Russian Federation will share modern approaches to poverty assessment (including multidimensional poverty beyond income) and a system of measures to support the population, from social contracts to digital services. The Republic of Tatarstan will show a regional cross-section: how targeted assistance is built in practice, combining federal standards and local specifics.

Uzbekistan will present a model for promoting the employment of the unemployed — informal and formal, with an emphasis on training, subsidies and involvement in productive work. Tajikistan will talk about social policy aimed at vulnerable and low-income groups in conditions of migration dependence and limited budgetary resources.

How can well-being be measured where official statistics do not reflect reality? Is it possible to copy a social contract from Russia to Uzbekistan or Tajikistan without loss of effectiveness? And most importantly, how can we make social assistance not an eternal burden, but a temporary springboard out of poverty?

The session is intended for relevant ministries, social agencies, regional managers and international organizations working on sustainable development goals.

The Islamic economy does not begin with banks or sukuk. It begins with the prohibition of israf — wastefulness. Not spending excessively, not overconsuming resources, not taking more from the land than it can give. Today, this principle is becoming not only an ethical norm but also a hard economic necessity.

Ammoniy, a mineral fertilizer producer, brings together chemists, farmers, IT developers, and Islamic financiers around one table. Why? Because land has ceased to be merely an asset. It is becoming a long‑term investment where the rules of the game are dictated not by speculation, but by real yields, soil fertility preservation, and the careful use of every hectare.

How should agricultural land be valued so that the price reflects not only current income but also future risks of depletion? How can ethical investments be attracted to agriculture without descending into greenwashing? And how can the prohibition of wastefulness be turned into a competitive advantage rather than a constraint?

Muslim heritage is not only ancient manuscripts, mosques and artifacts. This is an asset that, with proper management, begins to work for the economy: it attracts tourists, creates jobs, forms the brand of the territory and opens channels for international cultural cooperation. The Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Tatarstan gathers archaeologists, restorers, museum workers, tourism managers and representatives of international organizations on its site. The session focuses on new results of Muslim archaeology (including discoveries in Tatarstan and other regions), as well as applied issues.: How can heritage sites be included in tourist routes so that they generate income, and not only require budget financing? A separate section is international cooperation. How can we build joint projects for the conservation and popularization of heritage, taking into account the differences in regulation, financing and cultural approaches? Which formats of cooperation (exhibitions, grants, internships) actually work, and which remain a declaration?

Organizer: Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI).

Sukuk is one of the most complex and simultaneously most sought-after instruments of the Islamic financial market. However, the success of a sukuk issuance depends not only on the approval of the Sharia board. The key risks lie in structuring, asset management, and correct financial reporting. This is where discrepancies between investor expectations and actual performance most often arise.

AAOIFI — the global standard-setter for Islamic accounting, auditing, and governance — is conducting a workshop that bridges this gap. The format is not lecture-based: from concept to case study.

Participants will go through the full cycle: from asset selection and legal structuring to post-issuance management and reporting in accordance with AAOIFI standards. A comprehensive case study will allow participants to encounter real-world problems: what to do if an asset ceases to generate income, how to disclose information during partial early redemption, and how to reconcile the requirements of regulators, Sharia, and international standards?

Moderator: Khondamir Nusratkhuzhayev, Head of the Accounting and Reporting Department of the Islamic Development Bank (ISDB).

The Islamic financial model is growing exponentially, but its academic foundation is still shaken by internal contradictions. The Faculty of Economics of Lomonosov Moscow State University invites you to a frank conversation about the "blind spots" of the industry.

Experts from Moscow State University and leading practitioners of Islamic finance will engage in a discussion about methodological conflicts: why classical economics is not always friendly with partner finance, how to combine strict Sharia norms with the Russian Civil Code, and where does efficiency disappear when trying to standardize everything? A separate section is the personnel crisis: where to get financiers who simultaneously understand derivative financial instruments and fiqh. This is a session with no ready answers, but with an honest diagnosis of the industry.

Why does the Islamic monetary system require a complete overhaul and how does it fundamentally differ from the fiat one? How to combine climate risks and Islamic investment — and why does ESG not work, but the quality approach gives results? What prevents the launch of "Islamic windows" in Russian banks and what international experience can be adapted today? Where can I get staff for Islamic finance in Russia and how should university education change?

Organizer: Kazan State Agrarian University.

Halal and organic products have long been perceived as niche markets with strict restrictions. Today they are becoming a laboratory for the entire food industry. Why? Because the requirements of halal certification and the organic standard are not prohibitions, but a system of total quality control, traceability and purity. This is exactly what the modern consumer expects from a manufacturer in any country.
Key issues of the session: how to combine disparate Halal standards from different countries into a system that is understandable to both the manufacturer and the consumer? Can organic products be competitive without subsidies? And most importantly, how can Tatarstan take the place of a regional hub for halal and organic products in the OIC market? The session is organized for manufacturers, certification bodies, processors, retailers and investors who see the halal and organic sector not as fashion, but as an economy.

Organizer: Department of the Rais (Head) of the Republic of Tatarstan on Anti-Corruption Policy.

Corruption remains one of the key barriers to sustainable socio‑economic development. An effective anti- corruption policy not only reduces risks for business and the state, but also increases public confidence in government institutions, creates favorable conditions for investment and international cooperation.

What approaches to monitoring and reducing corruption risks have already proven effective in Russia and abroad, and what prevents their scaling? How can we build productive cooperation between government, business and civil society?

The session is devoted to discussing topical issues of identifying, monitoring and reducing corruption risks as a necessary condition for the sustainable development of Russia and the countries of the Islamic world.

Russian universities have long been doing more than just sending students abroad for internships. They are opening branches in Uzbekistan, launching networking programs with universities in Islamic countries, and creating Russian language centers in places where they were only talked about five years ago. But there is still no systematic understanding of what works and what doesn't, which formats give real results, and which remain beautiful reports.

The main question is: how to make Russia's academic presence in the OIC countries not a one-time project, but a sustainable system? Branches are expensive and difficult. Online programs are cheaper, but how are they recognized at home and abroad? Russian language centers are in demand, but who finances them?

The purpose of the event: to develop the activities of branches of Russian educational organizations abroad, Russian language centers, the implementation of educational networks jointly with universities of the OIC countries, and other forms of Russia's academic presence in the OIC countries.

Sukuk is one of the most complex and simultaneously most sought-after instruments of the Islamic financial market. However, the success of a sukuk issuance depends not only on the approval of the Sharia board. The key risks lie in structuring, asset management, and correct financial reporting. This is where discrepancies between investor expectations and actual performance most often arise.

AAOIFI — the global standard-setter for Islamic accounting, auditing, and governance — is conducting a workshop that bridges this gap. The format is not lecture-based: from concept to case study.

Participants will go through the full cycle: from asset selection and legal structuring to post-issuance management and reporting in accordance with AAOIFI standards. A comprehensive case study will allow participants to encounter real-world problems: what to do if an asset ceases to generate income, how to disclose information during partial early redemption, and how to reconcile the requirements of regulators, Sharia, and international standards?

Moderator: Khondamir Nusratkhuzhayev, Head of the Accounting and Reporting Department of the Islamic Development Bank (ISDB).

The Russian Federation's response to the unprecedented sanctions pressure from unfriendly countries has been the application of effective budget stimulation mechanisms, accompanied by an increase in expenditure items at all budget levels and the strengthening of legal protection mechanisms for socially responsible businesses.

The moderate conservative course pursued by the country's leadership during the transition to multipolarity is aimed at consistently addressing social objectives, ensuring predictable conditions for entrepreneurial activity, as well as attracting investment for the modernization of production based on domestic technological capabilities.

To achieve these goals, prosecutors provide supervisory support for all measures of support and stimulation of business initiative provided under Russian jurisdiction, as well as for the formation of a legal framework that is not burdensome for the business community and is effective at the same time.

International exchange of best practices with prosecution authorities, anti-corruption and other competent agencies of foreign states has been intensified.

What is the coordinating role of the Russian prosecution authorities in creating comfortable conditions for doing business? Why is the balance of interests between the state, society, and business particularly important today?

Organizer: Sberbank of Russia Public Joint Stock Company.

This session is not a report on friendship among nations. It is a working conversation at the intersection of geopolitics, trade, and Islamic financial instruments.

In recent years, Russia has been consistently strengthening its presence in the Islamic world: from the halal industry to interbank agreements. But how can political will be translated into containers on a platform, funds in a bank account, and long-term contracts? The answer lies in this session.

Halal products today occupy a significant share of international trade and export supplies, generating sustainable demand from the countries of the Islamic world. In these conditions, the development of specialized logistics solutions that ensure compliance with halal standards at all stages of transportation is of particular importance.

How can we build effective logistics for halal products that meet international standards and the demands of key markets? The session will discuss the role of transport and logistics operators in ensuring the end-to-end supply of halal products, the requirements for infrastructure and transportation processes, as well as the prospects for integrating Russian logistics solutions into international supply chains of the Islamic world.

Session participants will examine practical cases of launching specialized logistics services for halal product transportation, discuss the demands of major Russian agricultural producers, and the expectations of importers from interested countries.

The session will serve as a platform for dialogue between business, government agencies, and international partners with the aim of developing unified approaches to the development of halal logistics and strengthening Russia's position in external halal product markets.

Tourism is not just about beaches, excursions and hotels. This is a powerful tool of economic diplomacy that allows an investor to see the site with his own eyes, an industrialist to assess the partner's capacity, and a region to present itself not through powerpoint presentations, but through real production lines and infrastructure facilities.

The key idea is to use industrial and business tourism as a practical tool for deepening cooperation. The discussion focused on the creation and promotion of joint industrial routes, the attraction of Islamic capital and public-private partnership instruments in the tourism infrastructure, the export potential of Halal tourism, as well as the training of personnel for the implementation of projects. Special attention is paid to regional models of successful cooperation (Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, the North Caucasus) and overcoming existing barriers to the integration of tourism into the overall economic strategy of cooperation.

How can we maximize the potential of tourism, including industrial, business, and Halal tourism, to strengthen economic cooperation between Russia and the OIC countries and transform tourism initiatives into real investment projects?

The session is devoted to the role of "horizontal" diplomacy in the development of professional relations in the system of international relations. How can horizontal diplomacy become a stable foundation for multilateral cooperation, and what initiatives of young diplomats can set a long—term vector for friendship between countries?

During the discussion, participants will focus on building long-term relationships in the international

space, from international dialogue between regions and cities to cooperation between non-governmental institutions. Experts are discussing new formats of interaction in the international space: cross-cultural collaborations, scientific and technological alliances, as well as tools of public diplomacy. The result is the formation of approaches to a long-term friendship strategy as a practical system of mutual interests, resistant to foreign policy conjuncture.

Central question: How to balance tradition and openness, religious norms and multicultural reality, national heritage and the global cultural market? Especially at a time when some seek to cancel Russian culture, while others attempt to impose values alien to the Islamic world under the guise of universal principles.

"The Art of Dialogue: The Role of Russia and the Islamic World in Preserving Global Culture" — this year's theme. Russia and the countries of the Islamic world possess a unique historical experience of coexistence of different cultures and religions within the same territory. This experience is more in demand today than ever before.

Organizer: Association of Clusters, Technoparks and Special Economic Zones of Russia

The BRICS countries are creating new formats of practical cooperation of global importance. The International Association of Special Economic Zones of the BRICS countries, initiated by Russia in 2024, has become one of the key instruments. Its goal is to develop effective territories with preferential treatment and assist in the localization of business on infrastructureprepared sites. The principles of this cooperation are fixed at the highest level. The Kazan Declaration on the results of the XVI Brics Summit, as well as the Rio de Janeiro Declaration on the results of the XVII Brics Summit, recognized the effectiveness of the SEZs of the BRICS countries as a well-established mechanism for trade and industrial cooperation and promotion of production development. In addition, the BRICS Economic Partnership Strategy 2030, outlined in the Rio Declaration, defines the need to consolidate the principles of cooperation on issues related to the digital economy, international trade, and sustainable development.

Work on the creation and development of special economic zones should also be continued with the countries of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). The successful experience of deploying production from OIC countries in the territories of Russian special economic zones indicates that joint projects are a promising area of cooperation.

What specific steps and mechanisms make it possible to maximize the use of the SEZ potential to strengthen Russia's economic ties with the Central Asian states and expand cooperation within the framework of BRICS and the OIC?

Russian exports to the countries of the Islamic world are growing, but the potential is far from fully realized. Why? Because "simply shipping a product" is not enough. One needs to understand halal certification, adapt packaging and labeling to the requirements of specific countries, build logistics, and, most importantly, earn consumer trust — as consumers will not buy a product if they doubt its compliance with norms.

The Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia and Roskachestvo bring together on one platform those who shape export policy and those who implement it on the ground.

Key question of the session: How can we ensure that Russian manufacturers are not afraid to enter OIC markets, and that consumers in Jakarta or Istanbul choose "Made in Russia" not because it is cheaper, but because they trust it?

Organizer: Ghana-Russia Center for Commerce and Relations.

Ghana is one of the most stable and dynamically developing democratic states in West Africa. Its reserves of gold, oil, gas, cocoa, and a growing middle class make it not just an interesting partner, but a strategic gateway to the subregion. Until now, Russian business has paid significantly less attention to Ghana than it deserves. This roundtable aims to rectify that situation.

For the first time, key players shaping economic relations between Russia and Ghana are gathering on a single platform. This is an attempt to launch the first ever systemic Russia–Ghana dialogue at the level of business practitioners, not only diplomats.

What does Ghana need from Russia right now: investment, technology, education, or political support? The Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC): what preferences can a Russian investor actually obtain and how quickly? Where can Russian technologies meet Ghana's needs – in generation, grids, or renewables? How many students from Ghana are Russian universities ready to accept under quotas and contracts? How should transactions between Ghana and Russia be structured under current conditions (currency, correspondent banks, clearing)?

Moderator: John Aggrey, Chief Executive Officer of Ghana-Russia Center for Commerce and Relations.

Access to the event is limited (according to separate lists).

The Russian Federation's response to the unprecedented sanctions pressure from unfriendly countries has been the use of effective budget incentive mechanisms, while increasing the expenditure parts of budgets at all levels and strengthening legal protection mechanisms for socially responsible businesses.

The moderate conservative policy pursued by the country's leadership in the context of the transition to multipolarity is aimed at consistently solving social problems, ensuring predictable business conditions, as well as attracting investments in the modernization of production based on the domestic technological base.

For these purposes, prosecutors provide supervisory support for all measures provided in the Russian jurisdiction to support and stimulate entrepreneurial initiatives, as well as the formation of an easy-to-use and effective legal framework for the business community.

The international exchange of best practices with prosecutor's offices, anti-corruption and other competent agencies of foreign countries has been intensified.

Key questions: What is the coordinating role of the Russian Prosecutor's Office in building comfortable conditions for doing business? Why is the balance of interests of the state, society and business especially important today? What foreign experience can be used in the work of the Russian prosecutor's office?

Organizer: Sberbank of Russia Public Joint Stock Company.

Interest in partnership finance in Russia is growing noticeably, especially in the business environment. For entrepreneurs and financial institutions, this is primarily a search for new tools for business development, attracting investment, and entering new markets. This session will bring together business representatives – participants in the experiment under Federal Law No. 417-FZ – who are already applying partnership finance instruments or are only studying them in practice. Participants will share real experiences: which models have already proven effective, what challenges businesses face, and what opportunities are emerging in the current conditions.

In a live discussion format, we will address:

·    How Islamic financial instruments can be used in entrepreneurial activities;

·    Which niches and industries have the greatest potential;

·     What limitations exist today – legal, operational, and market;

·    What steps could contribute to the further development of the industry, including expanding product offerings, improving regulation, and increasing market awareness.

The session will be useful for entrepreneurs, investors, representatives of financial organizations, and anyone interested in the development of partnership finance in Russia. This is an opportunity to hear the practical perspective of business and understand how Islamic finance can be organically integrated into the existing economic system, contributing to its diversification and sustainable growth.

Oil, gas, metals, and grain — Russia remains a leading exporter of traditional goods. However, the 21st century is dictating new rules: the economy of impressions, design, fashion, media, gastronomy, IT art, advertising, and intellectual property are becoming just as valuable export products as raw materials. The question is how can Russian creators, designers, or media developers enter the markets of OIC countries, where the demand for original, high-quality, and culturally relevant content is growing at an alarming rate?

The session is a discussion platform in the field of preservation and promotion of objects of intangible ethno- cultural heritage (ONED). The session focuses on the unique heritage of the Islamic world, which, on the one hand, is a deep expression of religious and ethnic identity, and on the other hand, it is an important resource for intercultural dialogue in the context of globalization. The session will be structured around several key topics, such as a strategy for identifying and preserving "living" heritage in the modern world, where special attention will be paid to the role of local communities as the main bearers of traditions and the need for a balance between authenticity and adaptation; practical cases of successful work with objects of intangible ethnocultural heritage of the Islamic world — from traditional crafts and performing arts from arts to rituals and holidays — with an analysis of both successful nominations in the UNESCO list and projects for their livelihood at the national level; prospects, consideration of new formats for popularization, digitalization and educational use of heritage

As part of the discussion, the participants discuss the following issues:

What are the 2-3 key factors that determine the success of the nomination of intangible heritage sites of the Islamic world to the UNESCO list?

How can local communities participate more effectively in the preservation and transmission of ethno—cultural traditions, and what support tools do they need?

The outcome of the session should be not only a meaningful discussion, but also the formation of specific recommendations and, possibly, a roadmap for strengthening the role of the intangible ethno-cultural heritage of the Islamic world in the global cultural agenda, strengthening dialogue and mutual understanding between peoples.

Yachting tourism and related infrastructure are becoming one of the most promising areas of coastal development. Water tourism and related infrastructure are becoming one of the most promising areas of coastal development. Yacht ports (marinas), harbors and multifunctional tourist complexes near the water today are not just places for mooring ships, but complex urban planning nodes that form new centers of attraction for tourists, investors and local communities. In Russia, which has a unique water potential (13 seas, the largest river systems), the development of yacht infrastructure is one of the priorities set out in the Concept of Yacht Tourism Development until 2030.

The key challenges are the formation of a systematic approach to the placement of marinas and their design methodology. The Unified Institute of Spatial Planning of the Russian Federation (UIPP RF), commissioned by the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation, completed a large-scale study in 2025, "Development of proposals for the urban design of yacht ports (marinas)," which resulted in proposals for the development of a classification of yacht ports, an approach to the functional zoning and balance of the territory of yacht ports, as well as a location assessment system.

In 2026, the EIPP of the Russian Federation began work on the study "Development of mechanisms for prioritizing the placement of yacht infrastructure on inland waterways, taking into account the goals of the strategic development of the Russian Federation."

The results of the 2025 work and the preliminary results of the 2026 work will be the starting point for the discussion.

The Festival of Eastern Cultures, organised by Kazan Federal University in partnership with the Al-Hadara Arab Culture Centre, aims to foster cultural dialogue and strengthen international academic and humanitarian cooperation. The programme features photography and art exhibitions, video and poster contests, open lectures, language and script workshops, and cultural performances by representatives from Islamic world countries.

Attending the festival is particularly valuable for those who grasp that sustainable international cooperation begins not with contracts, but with the intellectual capacity to perceive another culture not as exoticism, but as a full world of meanings.

Organizer: International Public Organization "Center for Organizing Scientific and Cultural Events in the Sphere of People's Diplomacy."

Africa is a continent with immense cultural, linguistic, and civilizational diversity. To build long‑term partnerships, contracts alone are insufficient. Cultural diplomacy is needed: education, art, museum exchanges, and joint creative projects. These create the very fabric of trust without which any memorandum remains on paper.

The Center for People's Diplomacy brings together in Kazan ministers of culture, tourism, and communications from Burkina Faso, Togo, Mali, and Sierra Leone, as well as members of parliament from Ghana and Sierra Leone. The Russian side will be represented at a high level.

The session will focus not on general words about friendship among peoples, but on concrete mechanisms: educational exchanges, cultural projects (festivals, exhibitions, theater tours), joint museum initiatives, and training of personnel for the culture and tourism sectors.

Educational exchanges: how many African students in the fields of culture and the arts are Russian universities ready to accept in 2026? Which joint cultural projects (festivals, exhibitions, tours) should become the hallmark of Russian‑African partnership? How should the success of cultural diplomacy be measured: by the number of signed memorandums, by the growth of tourist flows, or by the strengthening of Russia's political position in Africa?

Objective of the session: In the context of intensifying geopolitical turbulence, regional conflicts, and the restructuring of global logistics routes, the resilience of global food production and trade systems is becoming increasingly important.

The session is dedicated to identifying key vulnerabilities in global value chains and discussing an alternative architecture for trade and investment in the agricultural sector, taking into account external risks and regional tensions, including the situation in the Middle East.

Participants will examine the role of Russia and the United Arab Emirates in shaping sustainable models of cooperation, as well as practical mechanisms for transitioning from state policy to concrete business projects and investment decisions.

How to move from government memoranda to concrete investment projects? What barriers (tariff, phytosanitary, logistical, payment) are blocking the growth of mutual food trade? And can Russia become for the UAE not just a grain supplier, but a strategic partner in ensuring long-term food sustainability – through joint ventures, agrotechnologies, and halal certification?

Russian halal has long ceased to be a niche product for domestic consumption. It is now a fully‑fledged export commodity with growing demand in the markets of the OIC, Southeast Asia, and Africa. However, the path from Russian producer to the shelves in Dubai, Jakarta, or Dhaka is strewn with barriers: differing standards, lack of mutual recognition of certificates, and insufficient trust in foreign certification bodies. Rosaccreditation and Roskachestvo bring together on one platform those who shape the rules of the game.

Mutual recognition of certificates: with which countries are negotiations closest to completion? What can Russia adopt right now, and what requires adaptation? Why is Russian halal still not properly represented in the Gulf countries – due to regulation, logistics, or lack of trust? What should Rosaccreditation and Roskachestvo do together with foreign partners by the end of 2026 to increase Russian halal product exports by 30–40%?

To conclude a contract is half the battle. It is much more difficult to be sure that the rights under it will be protected if a dispute arises. In international trade, especially between countries with different legal systems and cultural traditions, trust in dispute resolution mechanisms becomes a critical factor that either opens the doors for transactions or closes them forever. International commercial arbitration is not a legal abstraction, but a practical tool that allows businesses to feel protected.

The main objective of the session is to inform Russian and foreign entrepreneurs about the advantages of international commercial arbitration as a method of resolving foreign economic disputes and about the opportunities of the International Commercial Arbitration Court at the Chambers of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation.

Organizer: State Committee of the Republic of Tatarstan for Tourism.

Travel is the most effective diplomacy because it strips stereotypes of their power. To see with your own eyes, to taste the local cuisine, to hear someone else's speech, to understand the logic of behavior is something that cannot be conveyed through news headlines. For Russia and the Islamic countries, separated by thousands of kilometers, differences in language and cultural codes, tourism is becoming not just an industry, but a strategic tool for mutual understanding.

The State Committee of the Republic of Tatarstan for Tourism gathers on its site those who build bridges through travel.

The key question of the session: How can we turn tourism from a conversation topic into a real growing tourist flow from OIC countries to Russia? What needs to be done, from visa policies and language navigation to training guides and creating halal hotels? What experiences from Tatarstan, Dagestan, Moscow, the Kaluga region, and the Caucasus can be scaled? And what is the role of media in overcoming stereotypes?

Digital technologies play an important role in all professional fields of activity, including diplomatic, acting as a catalyst for a change in the communication paradigm: they transform the ways of collecting information, negotiating, forming the official position of the state and protecting national interests in the global information space.

The session is dedicated to the digital transformation of diplomatic activity under the influence of various modern technologies such as social networks, artificial intelligence and big data.

Most companies know only two ways to raise money: a bank or an investor with a stake. But there is a third one-Partner capital. This is a billion-dollar market in the world. In Russia, he is still at the beginning of his journey. But right now, when Western funds have left and rates have risen, partner financing is becoming not an exotic, but a forced and profitable reality.

What are the real prospects for the growth of the partner capital market in Russia in the current economic conditions?

This is not a conversation about theory, but about first experiences, barriers, and first victories. Experts will address the issue of how schemes involving regions, development institutions, stock exchanges and major banks work.

Organizer: Embassy of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia in the Russian Federation.

Ethiopia is the second most populous country in Africa, one of the fastest growing economies on the continent, the gateway to the Horn of Africa and a transit hub for the entire East of Africa. At the same time, the level of bilateral trade with Russia today does not match the potential of either side. The session, organized by the Embassy of Ethiopia in the Russian Federation with the support of the REC, aims to correct this imbalance by translating diplomatic goodwill into specific contracts and investment projects.

The key question of the session: what needs to be done to make the Russian exporter stop being afraid of Africa and begin to perceive Ethiopia as a clear and predictable market? What tools of the REC, regional support from Tatarstan and Moscow, and diplomatic support from the embassy can remove barriers to entry?

The Eurasian space is undergoing a stage of accelerated reconfiguration of trade and logistics routes, where Central Asia, the Volga region and the Persian Gulf countries are becoming key participants in the formation of a new geography of transportation. Traditional caravan routes and the interests of modern railway administrations intersect here, as well as transportation routes to major seaports and overland routes for industrial shippers.

The session will focus on the transformation of national infrastructure transport projects into a coherent network of international corridors with predictable logistics and a sustainable investment model. The discussion will touch upon issues of capacity regulation, multimodal hubs, digitalization of transportation documents, cross-border financing, and the role of railways, ports, and land access to Middle Eastern markets.

Special attention will be paid to Tatarstan as an internal transport hub, Kazakhstan as a transit link between China and Russia, as well as the capabilities of Syria, Qatar and the UAE in the field of transit logistics. Tracing new international transport corridors for access to the Eurasian Sea gates is especially relevant for landlocked countries. In the future, the role of Russia, Kazakhstan and Central Asia in rebuilding the region's infrastructure and creating new ways of interaction will be important.

A museum is not merely a place for storing antiquities. It is a meeting place of cultures, a dialogue between eras and peoples. In a world where borders between states are becoming increasingly permeable and the flows of migrants and tourists ever more intense, understanding other cultures is no longer a luxury but a vital necessity. Islamic heritage constitutes a vast layer of world civilization, and without familiarity with it, it is impossible to build a respectful and productive dialogue between Russia and the Islamic world. What experience does Egypt have in presenting Islamic heritage to a global audience that could be useful for Russian museums? What joint exhibition projects with museums from Islamic countries are planned for the next 1–2 years? What is the specific nature of presenting Islamic heritage in a secular country with nomadic traditions?

Russia has extensive experience in the production of high-quality goods that are in demand in the countries of the Islamic world. To increase the export potential and strengthen the position of Russian goods, including in these regions, the "Made in Russia" program was launched, which helped companies adapt their promotion strategies to the specifics of the Islamic world markets.

To successfully enter the markets of Islamic countries, it is necessary not only to master basic knowledge about the culture and economic specifics of the region, but also to delve into its social, religious and business characteristics. This includes understanding Islamic values, business rules, and consumer expectations. Willingness to invest in long-term projects and the development of local initiatives contributes not only to gaining a foothold in the market, but also to creating a solid foundation for sustainable business development.

Key issues of the session: What modern marketing formats are most effective for attracting the attention of consumers in these regions? How does the Made in Russia program help Russian companies build long-term partnerships in the markets of the Islamic world? What features of cultural traditions should be taken into account when promoting Russian products?

Purpose of the event:

The digital transformation of the construction industry is now impossible without artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence in construction, as elsewhere, is used to replace routine actions and obtain results in the field of analytics or real work.

The main challenges for the industry are the development of algorithms and data collection for the correct use of AI, as well as, of course, the training of personnel and the development of partnerships with the main "players" of the market to develop a single solution that can then be replicated further to other industries.

The session will discuss the practical results of implementing digital solutions in construction companies: from digital building doubles to automated security control systems on construction sites. The speakers present specific software products and platforms that already allow real-time construction management. We don't have a single information environment, but we have a general contractor and a subcontractor. The focus is on the measurable effects of digitalization: shortening deadlines, reducing errors, and optimizing project budgets.
