Moscow brought together representatives from more than 100 countries to discuss pressing global issues.
The meeting is taking place the day before the US presidential elections as part of the symposium “Creating the Future,” which opened at the Russia National Center.
Vladimir Putin delivered a welcoming speech, TASS reports.
The President stressed that Russia must shape its future on the basis of a sovereign worldview and commitment to moral and patriotic values.
Putin noted that the Russian people opened the way to space for humanity, brought the country to a leading position in the field of nuclear energy and made a number of grandiose discoveries.
First Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation Sergei Kiriyenko added that each individual specialist makes his own contribution to the future.
The symposium “Creating the Future” opened in Moscow the day before the US elections.
The outcome of the presidential race is still undecided. Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris are virtually neck and neck. This is the result shown by preliminary polls.
Swing states may have the deciding word. Their residents have not yet decided who they would vote for, so candidates are paying special attention to these regions.
The US elections will take place on Tuesday, November 5. Donald Trump will try to settle in the White House for the second time. Harris is elected for the first time. In the Joe Biden administration, she holds the post of vice president.
