"We have already sent out all the invitations to the participants of Yalta International Economic Forum (YIEF) scheduled for early November 2021. At the moment, there are no reasons why YIEF should be abandoned." This is what the head of Crimea Sergey Aksenov lately said to the media.

"There was no decision to cancel the forum, all invitations were sent out," Sergey Aksenov said.
According to him, the organizers are closely monitoring the epidemiological situation which is the most critical aspect in the course of preparation for the event.
