Next St Petersburg International Economic Forum to happen in 2021

MOSCOW, Mar 10 (PRIME) -- The next, 24th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) will take place in 2021, the forum’s organizer Roscongress said in a statement on Tuesday.

“The 24th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum will take place in 2021. The 2020 Forum was cancelled due to the decision of the World Health Organization to give the coronavirus outbreak the status of a global emergency,” the statement read.

The forum was previously scheduled for June 3–6.

Earlier this year, the Russian government decided to postpone the Sochi Investment Forum, which was to take place on February 12–14.
