V. V. PUTIN ON «OPEN DIALOGUE»
Russia invites partners to contribute to the formation of a new global growth model. Together, we will ensure the prosperity of our countries and the stable development of the entire world for many years to come. It is for this purpose that we held an Open Dialogue in Moscow this year, in which representatives of more than one hundred countries took part. We intend not only to make this format regular, but also to build an entire ecosystem around it for discussing, developing and implementing breakthrough ideas. The global challenges facing the modern world require an unconditional and global response. Solving the problem alone, especially at someone else’s expense, is simply impossible – to think otherwise is just an illusion.
