‘A lot of work has to be done in preparation for the Saint Petersburg Dialogue forum,’ Governor of Sverdlovsk Region Alexander Misharin said at a press conference in Yekaterinburg.

This forum used to be held in Germany or Saint Petersburg, but this time it will take place in Yekaterinburg for the first time. Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel and President of the Russian Federation Dmitriy Medvedev will meet to discuss issues related to education.
