🛰 Russian Space Forum is taking place in Moscow in honor of the 65th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's flight to space.

MSF is aimed at creating a platform for dialogue in space industry involving government, investors, scientists, experts, engineers.

🌏 40 countries participate

🇷🇺🇺🇳 On April 8, following elections held at UN Headquarters, Russia was elected by a majority of ECOSOC members to the Executive Board of the World Food Programme (WFP) for the 2027-2029 term. Our country competed with Poland for this seat.

☝️ Russia's election to the Executive Board confirms recognition of its contribution to global efforts to fight hunger and strengthen the international humanitarian response system.

For many years, Russia has been a reliable and responsible partner of the WFP. Our fundamental approaches to its activities remain unchanged: we consistently oppose the politicization of humanitarian aid and defend strict adherence to fundamental humanitarian principles.

Russian donor contributions are used not only to provide urgent food aid to those in need around the world – in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Central Asia – but also to implement long-term development programs and food security.

Happy Orthodox Easter!

April 12, 1961, is a date forever etched into history: On this day, the world’s first manned flight into space took place and Yuriy #Gagarin became #FirstInSpace!
