2.5 thousand participants from 70 countries will come to the United Cultures Forum in Russia

About 2,500 participants from 70 countries will attend the St. Petersburg International Forum of United Cultures. This was told in an interview with TASS by Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova. The forum will be held from 24 to 26 September.

In 2023, about 1.3 thousand participants came to us, and now it is already 2.5 thousand, not counting young people. There are now 70 and 44 official delegations, but registration is still ongoing, Golikova said. Of the 70 countries, 11 are “unfriendly.” However, she did not specify which specific states in question: “so that sanctions were not applied against our colleagues.”.

The St. Petersburg International Forum of United Cultures is held annually. It discusses the development of modern culture. In addition to the business program, concerts, festivals, awards and so on are held during the forum. Tatyana Golikova noted that this year for the first time there will be a youth program at the forum. It was originally planned that 700 children would take part. Now this figure is approaching 1.5 thousand, said the Deputy Prime Minister of Russia.
