Russian President Vladimir Putin, Indian PM Narenda Modi and other top officials will discuss ways of adapting to the challenges of the global economy in a plenary session of the international economic forum in St. Petersburg that kicks off on June 1. The guests of the forum are expected to exchange opinions on key economic issues and discuss global trends at the 21st edition of the event, which is themed: “Achieving a New Balance on the Global Stage.” Former Fox News star and current NBC host Megyn Kelly was chosen as a moderator of an all-round discussion at the forum’s main session that is scheduled to be attended by both Putin and Modi, the forum’s organizer, Roscongress Foundation, said in a statement.

Prime Minister Modi will be the guest of honor at the forum,” Saran told RIA Novosti. In an interview with RT in January, when the preparatory work for the forum was already in full swing, the director of Roscongress Foundation, Aleksandr Stuglev, said that over 200 experts had been recruited by the organizers to work on a permanent basis on its program. Overall, about 1,000 people have been engaged in arranging the event, Stuglev said, adding that many of the guests who were present at the Davos World Economic Forum in January would come to St. Petersburg. The topics on the events’ agendas will also partially overlap. “There is no doubt that the participants at the Davos forum are among them and the program parts which are being discussed at Davos will be reflected in St. Petersburg as well,” Stuglev told RT.

How?
The "challenges of the global economy" are now primarily taken on by China: has hooked up Britain, Europe, Russia, Asia by rail; won contract to build rail in Bangladesh. Undertaken big projects in Africa and Latin America (all the while as Uncle Sam is being discombobulated by crazy Jews)
