Sochi is hosting the 12th Annual Meeting of the International Debating Club ‘Valdai’. This year the forum is titled “War and Peace. The Individual and the State. The Threat of Large Conflict'.
"This year's theme follows from the topic we had during the major 'Valdai' conference titled 'The new world order: New Rules or a Game without Rules'. And our discussion logically, philosophically continues the themes that were launched last year," TASS cited the chairman of the board of the Development Fund and Support for the International Debating Club ‘Valdai’, Andrei Bystritsky, as saying.
Participants in the sessions traditionally meet with the Russian President and other high-ranking officials. Nearly 130 people are participating in this meeting, including more than 80 foreigners.
