At the International Economic Forum "Russia – Islamic World: KazanForum", scheduled for May 2025, particular emphasis will be placed on matters concerning the protection of digital borders and the countering of cyberattacks.
Russian Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Vershinin announced that a session dedicated to international information security will take place on May 14th. This event is being organized in response to requests for cooperation received from Muslim countries in the Middle East, Africa, and South and Southeast Asia.
Mr. Vershinin noted that intergovernmental agreements have already been concluded with these nations, and active collaboration is developing with the involvement of Russian developers.
During the session, participants will discuss approaches to safeguarding digital borders, regulating national information spaces, and countering computer attacks. Presentations from government bodies and leading Russian companies are anticipated, and an opportunity for all attendees to ask questions will be provided. The session aims to identify the needs of partners to further deepen cooperation in the field of information security.
The International Economic Forum "Russia — Islamic World: KazanForum" serves as the primary platform for economic interaction between Russia and the countries of the Islamic world.
The inaugural International Economic Forum of Russia and the member states of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) was held in 2009, establishing a leading international platform for discussing cooperation issues and implementing joint projects. Each year, participants acknowledge the rich business program, productive meetings, and highly commend the level and growing scale of the international economic forum.
