The purpose of the Memorandum is to lay the foundation for cooperation between the
St. Petersburg
International Economic Forum and the
Jeddah
Economic Forum, and aims to develop an ongoing dialogue with the participation of Russian and Saudi government officials and business representatives. The
Jeddah
Economic Forum is held annually and is the leading platform in the region to discuss issues of economic development and cooperation.
Signing of the Memorandum demonstrates that the parties intend to develop Russo-Saudi dialogue, both at the
St. Petersburg
International Economic Forum and at the
Jeddah
Economic Forum. This event has attracted the attention of the Saudi business community, which still knows very little about
Russia
and its investment opportunities.
The first Russia-Arab world business dialogue was held in
June 2009
during the
St. Petersburg
International Economic Forum, and was organized by the Russo-Arab Business Council. The business dialogue aroused great interest among forum participants and gathered a significant audience. The event was attended by Amr Al-Dabbagh, the founder and first chairman of the
Jeddah
Economic Forum, and currently chairman of the General Investment Organization of the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia
; and Muhammad Mazen Baterdzhi, first Vice-President of the
Jeddah
Chamber.
