Open Dialogue on the future of global economy concludes at the National Centre RUSSIA
The National Centre RUSSIA in Moscow has concluded the Open Dialogue on the future of the global economy.
The final session of the 'Future of the World: A New Platform for Global Growth' open dialogue took place at the National Centre RUSSIA. Participants summed up the results of this large-scale event and emphasized its uniqueness and significance for the international community.
'The main thing is this: regardless of people's views, beliefs, or ideas – everyone has the opportunity to be heard. This became a key aspect of the open dialogue. Because very often, the ideas that initially seem controversial or premature turn out, in time, to be the ideas of the future,' said Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation, Maxim Oreshkin.
The open dialogue began on April 28 and over the course of three days welcomed more than 100 guests from 48 countries. These included leading think tank experts, development institute members, youth organizations, as well as representatives from government and the business community.
As part of the event preparations, the organizers held an essay competition. Participants were invited to share their vision of how long-term global changes might impact people's lives and well-being. Authors from over 100 countries submitted around 700 essays, which were compiled into a collection summarizing the outcomes of the open dialogue.
'This collection features bold ideas, vivid thoughts, and a fresh perspective on the future of the global economy... I am confident it will inspire thousands of people around the world to take their own steps toward change,' said Natalia Virtuozova, Director General of the National Centre RUSSIA.
At the request of essayists and experts, it was decided to make the open dialogue an annual event. Moreover, the project is expected to expand significantly by 2026.

Musk stepping down as special government employee
Tech billionaire Elon Musk, head of the US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has announced that he will no longer serve as a government employee. The statement comes amid reports of a growing rift between Musk and President Donald Trump. Trump established DOGE to identify and eliminate wasteful spending as part of his effort to make the federal government more responsive to everyday Americans. Musk's organization, which is not a federal agency in the traditional sense, has overseen the elimination of grants and programs, as well as the termination of government jobs. Trump has also used DOGE to dismantle the Department of Education and the US Agency for International Development (USAID). 'As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President Trump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending,' Musk wrote on his X platform Wednesday evening. 'The DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government,' he added. According to The New York Times, special government employees are appointed to 'perform important, but limited, services to the government, with or without compensation, for a period not to exceed 130 days.' An unnamed White House official confirmed to Reuters on Wednesday that Musk is leaving the administration and that his 'off-boarding will begin tonight.' Musk recently voiced disappointment over Trump's tax and spending bill, which he said would increase the deficit and undermine DOGE's mission. He also said last week that he would like to wind down his involvement in politics because he has 'done enough.' Trump defended the bill passed by the House last week, though he admitted on Wednesday that he was 'not happy about certain aspects.' According to DOGE's website, the task force has helped save an estimated $175 billion in taxpayer funds. Democrats have criticized the initiative, and courts have blocked some of its actions.

Supreme Court backs Trump's transgender military ban
The US Supreme Court has permitted the Trump administration to enforce its ban on transgender individuals serving in the military, overturning a lower court's injunction and allowing the policy to take effect amid ongoing legal challenges. The 6–3 decision, issued on May 6, 2025, reinstates President Donald Trump's executive order titled 'Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness ' . Issued a week after Trump returned to office in January, the order prohibits transgender individuals from enlisting and requires the Defense Department to identify and dismiss all service members who have 'a current diagnosis or history of, or exhibit symptoms consistent with, gender dysphoria.' The Supreme Court's ruling lifts a nationwide injunction previously issued by a federal judge in Washington state in March. Under the reinstated policy, individuals diagnosed with gender dysphoria are disqualified from military service unless they serve in their biological sex and do not seek to undergo gender transition. The Department of Defense has been directed to implement the policy, which includes halting gender-affirming medical care for transgender service members. Trump first banned transgender people from serving in the US military in 2017. Former President Joe Biden repealed the ban shortly after taking office in 2021, only for Trump to reinstate it during his second term. Since returning to office, Trump has rescinded dozens of executive orders signed by his predecessor, including at least a dozen measures aimed at promoting the interests of racial minorities and the LGBTQ community. He also issued a formal decree recognizing only two genders – male and female – which, according to the order, cannot be changed. Trump further ended federal support for what he described as the 'chemical and surgical mutilation' of children using puberty blockers, hormones, and other medical procedures related to sex changes for individuals under the age of 19.
