Hopefully people will pay attention. Putin usually delivers on what he says.
Putin to deliver extensive speech at "very important" meeting Thursday, says Kremlin Russian President Vladimir Putin will deliver an extensive speech followed by a discussion at the think tank and discussion forum, the Valdai Club, in Moscow on Thursday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told state news agency TASS.
The event promises to be “very important,” Peskov told TASS, without saying which topics specifically Putin will address.
However the forum has announced that the title of the meeting is “A Post-Hegemonic World: Justice and Security for Everyone.”
The “voluminous” speech Putin will deliver at the meeting “is the main event of the day, which, for sure, will have to be analyzed, studied, read and re-read for many days later,” Peskov said Thursday during a regular call with journalists.
This year’s meeting will be attended by 111 experts, politicians, diplomats and economists from 41 countries, according to a statement from the Kremlin.
“The new geopolitical situation and changes in Russia’s partnership system have affected the geographical representation of the invitees to the 2022 edition of the event,” the Kremlin said in the statement.
The Middle East and North Africa, Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) are “much more widely represented this year,” the Kremlin said, adding that “representatives of several Western countries are also taking part in the meeting.”..................
