St. Petersburg (Russia) is hosting the international economic forum, which has already come to be a unique event in the world of business and economics, where Anastasia Pyrkina (student) represents the NCFU as a member of the youth press-center.

The forum has already become a leading global arena where business people come to discuss the most relevant issues faced both by Russia and by the entire world.
