World Without Rules:
Power Game?
On June 23-24, the 12th edition of the International Forum "Primakov Readings" will be held at the Radisson Blu Hotel Leninsky Prospect.
International Forum "Primakov Readings" is an annual meeting of experts in the field of international relations and world economy.
The first Readings in honor of Yevgeny Maksimovich Primakov were held on October 29, 2015 on his birthday. The event was initiated and organized by the Primakov Institute of World Economy and International Relations of Russian Academy of Sciences, World Trade Center and Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation.
The Forum rightfully occupies a prominent place among the most authoritative and representative international conferences, attracting the attention of decision-makers, diplomats, prominent experts and journalists from around the world.
Primakov Readings’ discussions will primarily focus on possible scenarios and approaches to the future world order that is emerging before our eyes – the strategic partnership between Russia and China as an anchor of stability in an unstable world. Relations in the Russia – China – USA triangle is another expected highlight of the conference. Nuclear multipolarity, energy transition, tariff wars, and other pressing issues of our time are also anticipated to be of significant focus for the Forum.
