The story of the Valdai Club’s twenty meetings is a chronicle of an extremely interesting and turbulent time. Russia and the world have been changing dramatically and very rapidly. Twenty years ago, when the Valdai Club was founded, it was hard to imagine today’s events. Can we try to imagine the world twenty years from now? What will change for the better and what will change for the worse?

🎥 Glenn Diesen on the Post-Soviet Space Experience

Multipolarity affects the post-Soviet space: fifteen former Soviet republics are redefining the relations, seeking economic connectivity with each other and wide world, developing their distinctive national identities, which are also built on their Soviet past. It is interesting to draw experience of all of them, Glenn Diesen @glenndiesen, Professor of the University of South-Eastern Norway, says, speaking about the special session of the Valdai Club’s 20th Annual Meeting, titled “The Post-Soviet Space: Lessons of the Past, Contours of the Future.”

🌏 The heart of Asia will continue to beat in unison with Russia’s. 

Over the past 30 years, the Central Asian states have established independent political and economic ties throughout the world. Promising integration processes launched at the initiative of the President of Uzbekistan in 2017 have radically changed the atmosphere in the region. The united voice of Central Asia is increasingly heard on international platforms.

At the same time, being the geopolitical core of Eurasia and located between major world civilisational centres, Central Asia is an object of growing attraction for many powers and forces. This, among other things, confirms the growth of the 5+1 formats, which have no analogues in international relations.

The development of events convinces us that the goal of extra-regional players is to penetrate as deeply as possible into the Central Asian countries. Through the “Global Gate”, “Greater Central Asia” or other structures, they draw them into the orbit of Western values and strategic influence in order to use the region as a platform for their games against Russia and China.

Over the years of the countries’ independence, the five have determined their true friends. For example, it is quite acceptable to assert that the Russia-Central Asia-China connection is a completely tangible positive phenomenon of modern international life. 

It is important not to miss the strategic initiative, to strengthen all corners of this stable triangle, including within the framework of the SCO, writes Rashid Alimov, Professor at the Academy of Public Administration under the President of the Republic of Tajikistan and at the Taihe Institute (China), Doctor of Political Sciences, SCO Secretary-General (2016–2018).
