On April 23-24, Dubai will host an ambitious international business forum dubbed the “World of Opportunities” in the city’s International Financial Center (DIFC) at the Ritz-Carlton. The event is arranged by two prominent Russian organizations, Roscongress and Synergy.
The latest data shows that the mutual trade turnover among Russia and the nations of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) in January-September 2023 reached $8.8 billion and rose by 63% compared to last year’s figures for the same period.
At the same time, over the past five years, Russia’s trade performance with the MENA region increased by 83%, standing at $94.9 billion.
Russia’s growing business interest in the region requires a platform for open dialogue among top business managers, regulators and representatives of the financial sector.

“Today, any business prioritizes being flexible in the decision-making process, being able to adapt to changing economic climate and cultivating relations with its partners. The ‘World of Opportunities’ forum will allow businesses to tap into new markets, find reliable suppliers, and expand international presence in general,” Tatiana Bakalchuk noted, commenting on the upcoming event.

On the opening day of the forum on April 23, experts will be present to discuss exciting opportunities available to Russian participants across different industries. They will also explore prospects for collaboration within the BRICS framework, as well as the strategic partnership between Russia and Gulf countries, especially in transport and logistics.
