“Due to the fact that the organizers of the Davos forum changed their decision and lifted the restrictions imposed earlier on Russian businessmen, the official government delegation will go to Davos and take part in the forum,” the agency was told.

According to the source, the composition of the delegation will be determined later.

In November, the Financial Times newspaper reported that business owners Oleg Deripaska, Viktor Vekselberg and Andrei Kostin were denied participation in the regular session of the forum in Davos.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has responded to the restrictions imposed by the WEF. According to him, by such actions the organizers work themselves against themselves and destroy the basis of their activities.

The forum will be held from 22 to 25 January.
