Ruhrgas chief highlights importance of St. Petersburg forum

ESSEN (Germany), May 29 (RIA Novosti) - The head of E.ON Ruhrgas AG, Bernhard Reutersberg, said on Thursday that the St. Petersburg Economic Forum, to be held on June 6-8 this year, is an important venue for making informal business contacts.
"Informal meetings at such forums are very important for strengthening ties between companies," the head of German utilities group E.ON's natural gas subsidiary said.
The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum is an annual event held with the support of the Russian president, bringing together politicians and business leaders.
"As I will be taking part in the forum for the first time, I find it hard to compare with other similar events. But one thing is clear - the existence of such an ‘economic club' benefits foreign entrepreneurs," he said.

LENEXPO, ST PETERSBURG
Dmitry Medvedev took part in the 12th Annual St Petersburg International Economic Forum.

The first day of the forum was devoted to global international issues.
As he opened the forum Dmitry Medvedev noted that at present the current institutions of global governance are not able to meet the challenges they face. Russia's role in global financial and commodity markets allows it to actively participate in the development of concrete solutions to reform global financial architecture. The head of state has already suggested that this year a representative international conference with the heads of major financial companies, leading financial analysts and academics take place in Russia.
The head of State also said that Russia is ready for joint action in solving the world food crisis.
Before the plenary session Dmitry Medvedev and the heads of state of CIS countries toured the exhibition stands of the forum's partners. Russian Minister of Economic Development Elvira Nabiullina provided explanations.
