🗣 Good morning! Today, November 4th, at 9:25 Moscow time (GMT+3), the opening of the 21st Annual Meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club “Lasting Peace on What Basis? Common Security and Equal Opportunities for Development in the 21st Century” will take place in Sochi.
 
📆 Programme for November 4, Monday
 
09:25 – 09:30 — Opening of the 21st Annual Meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club (LIVE: Russian, English)

09:30 – 11:00 — The World From the Bottom Up or The Masterpieces of Eurasian Architecture. Presentation of the Valdai Discussion Club’s Annual Report (LIVE: Russian, English)

11:30 – 13:00 — Session 1. Conflict or Agreement? What Will Most Likely Resolve Differences in the Post-Globalization Era? (LIVE: Russian, English)

Institutions and principles that were inherent in the international system during the second half of last century and the beginning of this century have been unable to fulfil their regulatory functions. Could conflict represent a painful but constructive way to achieve a new equilibrium? Or, are the costs of conflict so high in today’s interconnected world that agreement is the only path to an acceptable outcome? How can we achieve these agreements?

14:00 – 15:30 — Session 2. Eurasian Security: New Principles, New Opportunities

Today, Eurasia is not only the focus of the most significant international developments in politics and economics, but also the platform for the emergence of a new type of interaction. While this system is still taking shape, the future Eurasian comprehensive security system has the potential to demonstrate to the world novel principles that function in changed circumstances.

16:00 – 17:30 — Session 3. Understanding Civilization in the 21st Century? Symphony Instead of Collision

The concept of “civilization” has been known for a long time, but it has been interpreted in different, sometimes diametrically opposed, ways. Some have understood “civilization” as the level of cultural and political advancement achieved in the Western world, which should serve as a model for others. This has led to conflicts, ranging from socio-cultural to geopolitical disputes. Another interpretation is that “civilization” is a unique set of principles for organizing social and political existence within each cultural and historical context. This is not an easy path, but it may lay the groundwork for a qualitatively different international engagement. There are more and more signs that this approach holds promise for the future.

19:00 – 20:30 — Session 4. A Formula of War and an Equation of Peace. A Fair Solution to the Ukrainian Crisis Amid the General Changes

The Ukrainian conflict is the quintessence of contradictions and imbalances that have built up in international politics since the end of the Cold War. The path to peace lies through the development of new common foundations for coexistence and cooperation.
