A key place in the program of stay of the Russian delegation was dedicated to the preparation of the 6th Future Leaders Forum, which, by decision of the World Petroleum Council, is held in St. Petersburg in June 2019.

Russia's efforts were highly appreciated. Special attention was paid to a good choice of sites, the readiness of the city’s infrastructure to receive a large number of guests, the relevance of the technical program and the admirable cultural program.
“We cannot ignore the fact that the personal participation of the Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation in preparation for the Future Leaders Forum of the WPC brings the event to a completely new quality level,” said President of the WPC Tor Fiaeran.
There was also a presentation of the YouthForum - 2019 at the international investment conference KAZENERGY. “The opportunity to tell here about the upcoming Future Leaders Forum has increased the visibility of the event and attracted the attention of young professionals of oil and gas industry and managers of energy companies in Kazakhstan, as well as several other countries,” said Vlada Streletskaya, director of the RNC of the WPC.
