The Roundtable was attended by Sir John Egan, President of the Confederation of British Industry; Lord Marshall of Knightsbridge, Chairman of the CBI’s International Advisory Board; Sir Andrew Wood, advisor to the British Prime Minister on investment in Russia; Alexei Kudrin, Vice Chairman of the Russian Federal Government; RUIE President Arkady Volsky; Valery Draganov, Vice Chairman of the Budget and Taxes Committee, State Duma of the Russian Federal Assembly, and representatives of major Russian companies.
