The International Cultural Forum, which was held in St. Petersburg, turned out to be the most representative in its history, TASS reported. Mikhail Shvydkoy, special representative of the Russian President for international cultural cooperation, said that guests from eighty countries came to Russia. Including unfriendly ones, he specified.

The forum witnessed the emergence of numerous new proposals and ideas, as highlighted by the special representative of the head of state. These contributions are poised to significantly impact the collaborative efforts between Russia and many nations. Areas such as domestic creative education, theater, enhanced interaction with museums, and cooperation with cinematographers have garnered global interest. 

Mikhail Shvydkoy, in describing the discussion joined by the Head of State, deemed it highly informative. 

Vladimir Putin once again reminded that Russia is not talking about unfriendly nations or cultures, but only about the establishment in unfriendly countries.

Let us remember, the forum was held for the 9th time, for the first time after a three-year break. The forum brings together cultural figures, leading experts, businessmen and government officials. They are joined by heads of large organizations not only from Russia, but also from foreign countries.
