G8 Summit-from July 15 to July 17 2006 at the Palace of Congresses in Saint Petersburg Russia...
Expect all kinds of BIG developments to be announced concerning Russia's exploitation of its natural resources, including Oil & Gold... (possible joint ventures & other types of deals)
Gee, that would be a GREAT venue for gaining public awareness (investor awareness) for any new business endeavors...
I know if I were a CEO involved in such endeavors I would make sure to time announcing any big news with the G8 Summit to get more "bang for the buck" for the press release... Especially if it was being "featured" as a new cooperative venture between trade partners by the official delegation ....
