In 2025.

The ceremony was attended by Islam Nazaraliev, Director General of ANO ICRI and Head of the Expedition Organizing Committee, Alexander Stuglev, Chairman of the Management Board and Director of the Roscongress Foundation, and Rafael Abrahamyan, Director of the International Business Development Department at RVB LLC.

Journey to the Heart of Eurasia is an international initiative born among like—minded communities in Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. Over 50 days, participants will visit more than 30 cities, where they will hold scientific sessions, business forums, cultural events and educational meetings, forming new horizontal ties, strengthening the common historical and cultural space and creating a platform for sustainable cooperation in Central Eurasia.

The Roscongress Foundation is co—organizing the Expedition's main event, the First Central Asian International Economic Forum, which will be held on July 22, 2025 in Dushanbe, and is providing information support to the Expedition. The forum will bring together more than 500 participants — leaders of business, government, science, culture and media from Central Asian countries. It is on the site of the Forum, prepared with the direct participation of Roscongress, the Russian-Tajik Business Council at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation, the Executive Governmental Body of the city of Dushanbe and ANO ICRI, that new vectors of economic and humanitarian cooperation in the region will be determined.

"The planned Expedition will become a space of trust between people and nations. The main business event, the Economic forum in Dushanbe, will allow for an active dialogue between business representatives from Central Asian countries, which we see as necessary at key events of the Roscongress Foundation and at our international events. The site in Tajikistan will become a landmark, it will be held annually, and the range of topics of the business program will be constantly expanding. The Roscongress Foundation will actively promote this platform, and I am sure that the Dushanbe forum will be a great success," said Alexander Stuglev, Chairman of the Management Board and Director of the Roscongress Foundation.
