Russian President Vladimir Putin will take part in a plenary session of the Valdai International Discussion Club on Thursday. The session’s topic will be A Post-Hegemonic World: Justice and Security For Everyone.
Presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said earlier that Putin would deliver a extensive report, which will be followed by a discussion. The session will be moderated by Valdai scientific director Fyodor Lukyanov.
According to the Kremlin spokesman, the event "is promising to be very and very important." However, he refused to say which topics the president will touch upon.
Since the establishment of the Valdai Club in 2004, Putin has been traditionally meeting with its participants. The first conference was held in Veliky Novgorod near Lake Valdai, which gave its name to it. The club has been holding its sessions in Sochi since 2014, but for 2020, when it was held in Moscow due to the pandemic restrictions and the president addressed it online. This year’s conference will also be held in Moscow.
