The event aims to develop unified strategies for global economic growth
The National Centre RUSSIA is continuing its efforts to gather expert insights for a major international initiative focused on economic development. The Open Dialogue, titled “The Future of the World: New Platform for Global Growth,” will take place in Moscow from April 28 to 30, 2025.
The event will address pressing economic challenges and explore innovative solutions for long-term progress. Discussions will focus on four key pillars: investment in people, technology, environment, and communication. The goal is to identify the fundamental principles of a new platform for economic advancement.
As part of this initiative, the The National Centre RUSSIA invites experts from around the world to share their ideas on fostering sustainable growth. Interested participants are encouraged to submit essays on one of the four main topics by March 15, 2025. Submissions should be either a five-page essay or a 10-minute presentation in the author’s native language and can be sent to dialog@russia.ru.
“Based on the results of this large-scale project, we will prepare an Open Report, which will serve as a key tool for further analysis and discussion of the proposed solutions,” said Natalia Virtuozova, Director General of the The National Centre RUSSIA.
The Open Report will be presented at major economic forums and shared with the expert community to encourage broader engagement and highlight the most promising initiatives, she added.
Authors of the best essays will be shortlisted and invited to participate in the Open Dialogue in Moscow. According to event organizers, this approach aims to expand the discussion and attract a diverse international audience.
The project aspires to develop a set of initiatives and recommendations to drive stable economic growth amid current challenges and transformations. Expert insights from the event could serve as a foundation for future discussions and strategies shaping the economy.

A meeting last week that was to culminate in a major pact on Ukrainian minerals instead ended in scandal
Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky has offered to sign a rare earths deal with the US following a disastrous meeting at the White House last week which scuttled the agreement. However, he did not apologize, as demanded by some American officials.
Zelensky and US President Donald Trump have feuded over a potential ceasefire in the Ukraine conflict, security guarantees, and the minerals deal for weeks. Last Friday, the process culminated in a shouting match between the Ukrainian leader, Trump, and Vice President J.D. Vance in the Oval Office.
“Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be,” Zelensky wrote in an X post on Tuesday.
“It is time to make things right,” he said, adding that “Ukraine is ready to sign [the agreement on minerals] in any time and in any convenient format.”
Kiev is ready to work towards a swift end to the conflict, beginning with an immediate prisoner release, and an immediate ceasefire with a “ban on missiles, long-ranged drones, bombs on energy and other civilian infrastructure,” Zelensky said.
He called last week’s altercation “regrettable,” but did not apologize.
The minerals deal is off the table until the Ukrainian leader makes a formal public apology, Fox News reported on Monday, citing a senior US official.
The Ukrainian leader refused to directly apologize for the contentious White House meeting when pressed by Bret Baier of Fox in an interview shortly thereafter.
The day of the scandalous meeting, Trump told reporters that Zelensky needed to be ready for an immediate ceasefire before would be welcomed back.
In the meantime, Washington has suspended all US military aid to Ukraine, multiple outlets reported on Monday, citing an anonymous White House official.
“We are pausing and reviewing our aid to ensure that it is contributing to a [peaceful] solution,” the statement reportedly said.
A stop to the flow of US armaments to Ukraine would “probably be the best contribution to the cause of peace,” given Washington’s position as its biggest military backer, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday.
Moscow has repeatedly stressed its openness to ceasefire talks, and that Kiev banned negotiations early on in the conflict. Russia demands that Ukraine demilitarize, denazify, stay neutral and recognize the territorial “realities on the ground.” Moscow has also stressed that it is opposed to any NATO presence in Ukraine, including under the guise of peacekeepers from the US-led military bloc’s member states.
