President Vladimir Putin started the second day of the Group of 20 forum Friday by meeting with the representatives of businesses and unions of leading economies, the Kremlin said in a statement on its website Friday.
Putin said an important goal for the governments was to encourage private investment in infrastructure at a time of growing demand for long-term investment.
At the same time, he said projects with attractive profit margins were in short supply.
The Kremlin didn't say which businesses and unions were represented at the meeting.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
