Ivan Kulikov, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of Russia, has sent his welcome address to Mir Detstva 2026 and CJF – Child and Junior Fashion 2026. Autumn.

“Mir Detstva and CJF – Child and Junior Fashion have long become not just platforms for the presentation of new products, but real centres of industry expertise. Their participants develop strategies and start partnerships. There is a mutual exchange of experience between business and government. It is especially valuable that such events allow us to establish a direct dialogue with the professional community, receive prompt feedback, and jointly find answers to current challenges,” says the deputy minister.

“Today, we are facing an important task not only to strengthen the positions of domestic manufacturers, but also to purposefully promote safe and high-quality products created for our children,” continues Ivan Kulik. “Despite external factors, the industry is transforming dynamically as outdated approaches are being replaced by innovative solutions. The professionalism of Russian manufacturers allows us to achieve impressive results. I would like to express my special gratitude to companies that not only retain their workforce and adapt to market changes, but also actively explore new niches, find alternative sales channels, and make a real contribution to this country's economy.”

Mr. Kulik is positive that the educational workshops, discussions and presentations held at the shows’ platform will become an important tool for developing new solutions and will give an additional impetus to the development of the children's industry. “I would like to wish all participants and organisers successful and productive work. May the results of these days become a solid foundation for further joint steps by the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia and the business community to strengthen the Russian market for children's goods and clothing,” says Ivan Kulik.
