Dear friends,

I invite you to participate in the Caspian Media Forum – 2024 that will be held for the 9th time in the welcoming city of Astrakhan.

Over the years, the Forum has become an authoritative platform for meetings and communication between representatives of mass media, governmental and scientific communities, political analysts, experts and leaders of public organisations.

This year’s forum topic is The Dialogue of Cultures as the Basis for the Caspian Development.

Forum participants will share working tools and mechanisms to improve the quality and promote the dialogue of cultures. I strongly believe that this forum will provide a wonderful platform for mass media cooperation and unify the peoples of the Caspian Region.

Participants will analyze and discuss the development of digital technologies in art and the media, the new life of traditional art and cinema as a universal form of communication, and examples of Eurasian cultural and historical unity.

Traditionally, the results of the international contest for the best journalistic work Caspian without Borders will be announced at the Forum.

Astrakhan Region is welcoming delegations from the Republic of Azerbaijan, the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Russian Federation, Turkmenistan, the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Uzbekistan and other countries.

The platform will become a meeting place for those who really cares about the future of the Caspian Region. This partnership with the expert community will make it possible to effectively implement joint projects and achieve the main goal – the development of the Caspian Region.

I strongly believe that the 9th Caspian Media Forum – 2024 will promote cooperation between Caspian mass media representatives.
