At this year's St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, the spotlight was on the robust cooperation between China and Russia, particularly in strategic areas like the Northern Sea Route, urban development, and agriculture. This partnership is poised to drive significant transformations not only in the regional economies but also on a global scale.
CGTN's Aaron Liu had insightful conversations with Alexey Chekunkov, the Russian Minister for the Development of the Russian Far East and Arctic. Chekunkov highlighted how the collaboration is set to enhance infrastructure, promote sustainable urban growth, and boost agricultural productivity, thereby fostering economic resilience and expansion.
Moreover, the forum underscored the rising influence of emerging markets in shaping the global economic landscape. Economic and trade cooperation among these nations is becoming increasingly pivotal. Liu also engaged with Ben Joubert, Director of the South African Department of International Relations and Cooperations, and Hala Helmy Elsaid, Minister of Planning and Economic Development in Egypt. They discussed the scaling of trade and investment among emerging markets and the vast opportunities for multifaceted cooperation that can drive sustainable growth and innovation.
The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum continues to be a pivotal platform for fostering international partnerships and exploring new avenues for economic development in an interconnected world.
