🌏 Eurasia is rapidly emerging as a formidable centre of power.

Its dynamic economic growth and expanding military capabilities are generating unease among the traditional power centres of the West. This shift is bringing the Eurasian states face-to-face with a shared set of security, military, and economic challenges. 

Eurasian alliances like the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU), Collective Security Treaty Organisation (CSTO) and Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) already provide a framework for promoting the security and economic interests of the Eurasian countries.

The security system proposed by President Putin appears to be the most appropriate option, writes Raza Muhammad, President of the Islamabad Policy Research Institute, for the 21st Annual meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club.

🔋 Energy for the Global South

The Global South is the socio-economic and political definition used to describe developing countries. These states are rich in a wide variety of resources, both fossil and renewable. The leaders in electricity generation among the Global South are China, India, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Mexico. However, there are constraints to the development of green energy. You can find out which ones and how these challenges are being addressed in our infographic.

💻 In today’s fast-changing world, the information people consume daily—through social media, news portals, search engines, and e-commerce platforms—increasingly influences every aspect of their lives.

Whether shaping their voting behavior, deciding where to shop, or determining what to search for and how, information is a pivotal force.

Over the past 20-30 years, companies that hold our data have also amassed substantial market power, reshaping the global information order, write Arvind Gupta and Aakash Guglani for the 21st Annual meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club.

🗣 Good morning! Today 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” continues.

📆 Programme for November 6, Wednesday
 
09:30 – 11:00 — Session 10. Habitat: Shared by Everyone, Each Uniquely (LIVE: Russian, English)

The conditions of human life are undergoing significant changes. Natural disasters, the uneven distribution of resources, and fluctuations in the climate present challenges to the development of nations and people. While everyone’s focus has long been on the issue of environmental degradation, effective solutions have yet to be found. International initiatives, which have been underway since the late 20th century, have had, at best, limited impact. We require new ideas that take into account the needs of not only advanced, but also emerging economies, and that are free from the preconceptions that have arisen in this field.

11:30 – 13:00 — Meeting with Alexander Novak, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation

14:00 – 15:30 — Meeting with Sergey Lavrov, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation

16:00 – 17:30 — Meeting with Maxim Oreshkin, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office

19:00 – 20:30 — Special session. US Elections: What Can the World Expect From America? Discussion of the preliminary results of the US presidential election

🛜 Digital Sovereignty

The Internet has blurred the spheres of information influence among states. Companies like Alphabet and Meta (recognised as an extremist organisation in Russia) dictate the rules of the game in the digital world. National economies are becoming dependent on these giants. Open-source solutions offer salvation from dependence on digital giants. However, they carry their own risks, sometimes significant ones. You can learn how to minimise risks and support national IT companies from our video infographic.
