Moscow attack casts shadow over World Economic Forum
The World Economic Forum begins Wednesday amid uncertainty after opening speaker Russian President Dmitry Medvedev postponed his visit after a deadly attack on a Moscow airport. WEF organisers said the Russian president would arrive in time to address the 2,500 members of the global political, business and media elite attending the annual meeting in the snow-bound Alpine village of Davos. However, it remains to be seen if he will stick to his plan to showcase Russia's investment opportunities, drawn up before Monday's bomb blast at Moscow's Domodedovo airport that killed 35 people. Posters urging investors to "Increase your opportunities with Russia" have been plastered across key locations in Davos, including in front of the chic Hotel Belvedere Steigenberger, where top politicians and executives stay. The posters -- which also bear the slogan, "Great Country, Great Partner," -- can also be found along the main street running through the Alpine village, as well as against the … [Read more...] about Moscow attack casts shadow over World Economic Forum
