Foreign journalists and bloggers attended the large-scale exposition "Journey Across Russia" by the National Centre RUSSIA. The experts took part in a discussion dedicated to the formation of a multipolar world. The meeting brought together opinion leaders from European and Middle Eastern countries. At the National Centre RUSSIA, they discussed the image and significance of the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, abroad, Russia’s influence on processes in other countries, and the role of BRICS in the current economic context.

The international delegation also explored Russia through the lens of economic achievements and innovative projects presented at the "Journey Across Russia" exposition. According to the tour participants, the exposition vividly conveys the country’s growing influence on shaping the global development agenda.

"I came to Moscow from Lebanon, and this exposition is simply astonishing for me. We saw how actively Russia is developing and how much is happening here. This is a great country, one of the greatest in the world. Russia always relies on its own strength to make the world a better place and plays a strategic role in global transformations, in worldwide development, in the field of artificial intelligence and other areas. What we saw here is truly impressive. It’s fascinating, and I’m amazed by what I’ve seen at this exposition," shared Lebanese blogger and journalist Batoul Abdallah.

After exploring Russia’s achievements in international trade, guests of the National Centre RUSSIA noted that the country is setting a new global benchmark for sustainable development. Foreign visitors pointed out that Russia’s consistent import substitution policy and strategic partnership initiatives — including projects within the EAEU, SCO, and BRICS — are turning the country into a guarantor of global economic stability.

"I live in China and I’m perfectly aware how important the relationship between Russia and China is. In the first 15 minutes of this exposition, I have learnt more about Russia than I ever had before. There’s so much gathered here! I found out about the bridge connecting the two countries — that definitely goes into my top five places to visit as soon as possible. I’m also impressed by the bond between different cultures. It was a revelation to me that Russia spans 11 time zones, and you can celebrate New Year 11 times here. That’s incredible," said John Whitehead (Canada), head of the media project Reporterfy Media & Travel.

At the end of the "Journey Across Russia" exposition tour, journalists and bloggers remarked that the exposition presents the country as a unified organism, where each federal district contributes uniquely to the nation’s overall prosperity, the strengthening of sovereignty, and the enhancement of international standing.

Visiting the "Journey Across Russia" exposition is free of charge with prior registration. Full details are available on the website of the National Centre RUSSIA in the "Events" section.
