Among the key topics of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF-2026), which will take place from June 3 to 6 in St. Petersburg, is the discussion of expanding trade and economic cooperation between the Kyrgyz Republic and the Russian Federation. This was reported by the Roscongress Foundation.
As of the end of 2025, the mutual trade turnover between the two countries amounted to over 3.1 billion dollars, indicating a positive trend in the development of relations. Experts predict that in the medium term, trade volume could reach 5 billion dollars.
Kyrgyzstan's participation in SPIEF-2026 is seen as an important step towards strengthening economic ties and expanding mutually beneficial cooperation between the two states.
In 2026, active participation of the Kyrgyz delegation in the business program of the forum is expected, including specialized business dialogues and meetings with representatives of Russian regions and companies. The focus will be on issues of investment interaction, the creation of joint production facilities, the development of transport corridors, and business support through financial mechanisms.
SPIEF traditionally gathers leaders of states, businessmen, and experts from various countries around the world. The main topics of the forum cover global and regional economic processes, market transformations, new technologies, investment climate, and financial policy. The uniqueness of the forum lies in its practical orientation, where decisions are made, innovative projects are launched, and investment agreements are signed, while experts exchange experiences and proposals.
The Roscongress Foundation, the largest operator of international congress and exhibition events, organizes SPIEF. The foundation's international activities are overseen by the Roscongress International platform, aimed at developing partnerships with foreign states, business associations, and development institutions to promote joint projects.
