Foreign guests shared their impressions of participating in the "Inventing the Future" Symposium
The International Symposium "Inventing the Future" received widespread response among foreign guests, who highly appreciated both the rich program and the cultural immersion in Moscow. Representatives from 101 countries gathered to discuss global challenges, strengthen international ties, and formulate development concepts for the future.
"The Symposium brought together many brilliant minds. What impressed me most was the special focus on universal values and the social aspect. I also fell in love with Moscow — it is a very beautiful city. It has stunning architecture, impressive landscapes, and friendly people," said Abel Benjamin Lim from Malaysia.
Foreigners noted that the symposium in Moscow became a unique platform for specialists from around the world to engage in dialogue and discuss key issues across various fields.
"The Symposium left a strong impression on me: so many diverse events and a wide range of topics for discussion. I am delighted with Moscow as well — it’s a city full of energy. I really want to come back here to immerse myself more deeply in its atmosphere," shared Lu Xiaohong from China.
According to Majed al-Mansoori, Executive Director of the Museum of the Future (UAE), participating in the Symposium in historic Moscow was an honor and a special event for him.
"At the Symposium, we discussed how we can work together to create a better future for the next generations. The Symposium allowed me to establish valuable connections with colleagues. Despite the cool weather, everyone I met in Moscow treated me with great warmth. I look forward to seeing this city again," he noted.
Serbian activist Vesna Veizovic paid special attention to traditional values and strengthening the family at the symposium. She emphasized that Russia serves as an example in this regard for other countries.
"Today, traditional values that should support the state are unusual for some countries, where propaganda of sophisticated moral standards is gaining ground. In this situation, Russia stands as a country that opposes this ideology and demonstrates by example what the right path is — preserving religious identity and family values," said Vesna Veizovic.
The National Centre RUSSIA was established by order of the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, to preserve the legacy of the International RUSSIA EXPO and to showcase the achievements of the country and its citizens on a permanent basis. Federal government bodies, state companies, corporations, and regions take part in the Centre’s work.
The first event at the National Centre RUSSIA was the International Symposium "Inventing the Future," which welcomed more than 6,000 guests from 101 countries.
The National Centre RUSSIA is located at 14 Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment, Moscow.
