On 23 June, the XI International Scientific and Expert Forum «Primakov Readings» opened in Moscow, focusing on the theme «Global Turbulence». At the center of discussions are potential scenarios and approaches to shaping the future world order, with the participation of scholars, government representatives and specialists in international relations and the global economy.
Participants will address potential models of the emerging international order, strategic partnership between Russia and China, relations within the Russia–China–United States triangle, nuclear multipolarity, the energy transition, tariff wars and other pressing issues of today’s global agenda.
The opening session gathered Yuri Ushakov, Aide to the President of the Russian Federation; Konstantin Kosachev, Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council; Vladislav Panchenko, Vice President of the Russian Academy of Sciences; and Alexander Dynkin, President of IMEMO.
Yuri Ushakov delivered the President’s welcoming address: «Effective responses to modern challenges and a decisive departure from the Western-centric system of coordinates can be ensured only through collective efforts of the global majority, based on genuine equality and respect for each other’s legitimate interests. I expect that the experts participating in the Readings will focus on the key problems of the modern world and will assess the prospects for global development in the foreseeable future.»
Academician Gennady Krasnikov, President of the Russian Academy of Sciences, also addressed the participants: «Science remains a space for interaction and dialogue. Despite the challenging international environment, many Russian research teams successfully cooperate with counterparts from BRICS countries and carry out joint projects in Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and Africa. The Russian Academy of Sciences — which includes many foreign members — remains open to fruitful and mutually beneficial cooperation,» his words were read by Academician Vladislav Panchenko.
The «Primakov Readings» is an annual international expert forum in the field of international relations and the world economy. Academician Alexander Dynkin recalled that Evgeny Primakov — statesman, diplomat and academic — passed away ten years ago, yet his intellectual legacy, his scholarly approach and his lessons in diplomacy and public administration remain highly relevant today.
Konstantin Kosachev highlighted that Primakov was among the first to understand that adherence to the Western paradigm in Russia–Europe–USA relations would inevitably lead to the erosion of Russia’s identity.
«Evgeny Primakov undoubtedly belonged to the cohort of thinkers who could see the deeper flow of events. In my view, what is widely regarded as his principal intellectual and political legacy — the idea of the Russia–China–India strategic triangle — was not only timely, but a concept that clearly anticipated future developments and remains relevant today,» Kosachev noted.
At the conclusion of the opening ceremony, Professor Yan Xuetong (China) received the commemorative medal «300 Years of the Russian Academy of Sciences», while Arvind Gupta (India) was awarded the diploma of a foreign member of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
The main programme of the forum continues on 23–24 June. A livestream is available via the link.
