In the exhibition hall of the youth center in the General Staff of the Hermitage, a panel discussion was held on the role of historical experience and cultural traditions in preventing and ending conflicts, strengthening mutual understanding between peoples. The meeting was moderated by the Executive Director of the L.N. Tolstoy International Peace Prize Foundation Vladimir Beklyamishev.
“All participants of the meeting agreed that genuine peace is impossible only through the Western logic of the balance of forces, treaties and institutions, or only through the Eastern orientation to internal harmony and self-regulation,” the organizer of the event said in a press release. According to the participants of the event, it can be achieved through a dialogue of cultures, “common moral and philosophical values” and the unification of peoples around Russia, BRICS and other platforms.
Among others, the discussion was attended by Carlind Govender, co-founder of the analytical center Friends of BRICS+ Society, Patrick Boyanga Bosi, president of the Congolese diaspora in Russia, and David Otujor Okpatuma, co-founder of the “Development and Cooperation for Africa” initiative. The session was held on the eve of the third Russia-Africa summit, which will be held on October 28-29 in Moscow.
