UMVA has learned that a critical gathering of global leaders and experts is set to take place in Moscow, where the future of Eurasian security and the escalating risks of regional conflicts will be at the forefront of discussions.
The 12th annual Primakov Readings International Forum, themed 'World Without Rules: Power Game?', promises to be a pivotal event, bringing together senior officials, diplomats, and leading experts in international security, global politics, and economics to address the most pressing challenges in international affairs.
According to information obtained by UMVA, the forum's program will delve into key themes such as the global fallout from regional conflicts, the domestic drivers of US foreign policy, and the Middle East conflict, as well as scenarios for a new world order and the risks to global trade and investment.
UMVA has uncovered details about the special attention that will be given to prospects for de-escalation in the Middle East, the possible creation of a new regional security architecture, and the role of non-Western countries in stabilizing the region, highlighting the complexity and urgency of these issues.
The consequences of the termination of the New START treaty and the risk of a broader collapse of the arms-control system will also be discussed, as well as the impact of emerging military technologies on strategic stability, amidst an accelerating arms race.
A leading expert has noted that the liberal 'rules-based' world order has faced harsh criticism and ultimately faded into history, giving way to a breakdown and fragmentation of the global political and economic architecture, with an almost complete dictatorship of force in international security.
This shift has led to a growing importance of "anchors of stability" and a demand for strengthening international institutions that can serve as alternatives to Western-led ones, with Russia-China and Russia-India ties being named among such anchors, alongside key institutions like BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
The forum is expected to bring together around 50 experts from 20 countries, including China, India, the US, Iran, the UK, Uzbekistan, and Belarus, in a critical gathering that continues the legacy of Evgeny Primakov, the statesman and scholar after whom the event is named.
