Today, an agreement between the Republic of Macedonia and Forbes, one of the world's famous business magazines, with a circulation of around one million copies per year, was signed today.

The cooperation will be directed at organising our presentations before numerous business leaders and companies in New York, London and Los Angeles. Forbes will organise these presentations before rich investors, their clients and well-known companies with which they cooperate. Forbes will invite the companies and Macedonia will conduct the presentations, Gruevski stated after agreement signing.

Vice Chairman Christian Forbes gave positive assessment on Macedonian activities for attraction of foreign investors and expressed great expectations from future cooperation with the Republic of Macedonia.

Forbes has nearly a hundred years of experience in the cooperation with business leaders where among other things we advise them where to invest. We are glad to work with Macedonia and to promote opportunities offered by Macedonia as incredibly good tax regime, flat tax, which Forbes is supporting as strategies, and also friendly business climate which is not known to local world business leaders and we will work with the Macedonian government to promote this message, Forbes stated.

It is very important that Forbes will be our partner because companies see us as a country that gets the seal by Forbes because Forbes believes in us. At the same time it is also important that their ideas are very similar to ours from a point of view of low taxes, flat taxes, good business climate, so the Forbes network and their attraction of companies will mean a lot to us for what we are doing in the past six or seven years aimed at realising it much better, Mizo said.
