He noted that: “For 20 years, the AEB has been representing to the best of its abilities the interests of its members, at all European and Russian policy levels, growing from a small-scale “club” of European companies taken by the hand of a few European Union’s Embassies and Delegation of the European Commission to the strongest representative of foreign businesses in the Russian Federation”.

The guests of honour, including the Chairman of the Eurasian Economic Commission Collegium Victor Khristenko, Deputy Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation Stanislav Voskresensky, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Alexey Meshkov, Ambassador and Head of the Delegation of the European Union to Russia Vygaudas Ušackas, Vice President of the European Commission (2004–2010) Günter Verheugen, congratulated the AEB on its 20th anniversary. The President of the Russian Union of Entrepreneurs and Industrialists Alexander Shokhin also congratulated the AEB and presented awards to the AEB leadership. 

The event continued with a cocktail party and a performance by soloists from Novaya Opera.
