‘Primakov Readings' forum to explore global turbulence and future world order
Russia is gearing up to host the 'Primakov Readings' International Forum, one of the most influential platforms for global strategic dialogue. The 11th annual gathering, themed 'Global Turbulence', will take place in Moscow on June 23.
The event is set to feature a number of high-ranking Russian officials, including Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, presidential aide Yury Ushakov, and Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Konstantin Kosachev. It will also bring together prominent scholars, diplomats, and policy experts from more than 16 countries, including the US, UK, China, India, and Iran.
Panel discussions will focus on the rapidly evolving global order. Key topics will include the strategic axis between Russia and China, the complex dynamics of the Russia-US-China triangle, and the prospects for managed rivalry in an increasingly fragmented world.
The forum will also examine implications for the Global South and explore emerging frameworks of cooperation across Greater Eurasia, including BRICS, the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), and China's Belt and Road Initiative.
'In just a few decades, the illusion of a rules-based, unipolar world has crumbled,' said Aleksandr Dynkin, president of the Primakov Institute of World Economy and International Relations (IMEMO RAS). 'The current crisis in the world order reflects both policy failures and profound structural shifts in global power.'
Organized by IMEMO RAS in partnership with the Primakov Center for International Cooperation, the forum continues to honor the legacy of Evgeny Primakov, a distinguished statesman and scholar whose vision of a multipolar world remains as relevant today as ever.
