Putin calls on Russia's partners to discuss new global model of growth
Russia is calling on its partners to take part in shaping a new global growth model aimed at ensuring stable development worldwide, President Vladimir Putin said on Friday. Speaking at the main plenary session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), he stressed the need to create a fair and open platform for global progress. 'Russia invites its partners to contribute to the formation of a new global growth model that will ensure the prosperity of our countries and the stable development of the entire world for many, many years to come,' Putin said. 'To that end, we held an Open Dialogue in Moscow this year, titled 'The Future of the World: A New Platform for Global Growth', which brought together representatives from over a hundred countries. We intend not only to make this format a regular occurrence but also to build an entire ecosystem around it for discussing, developing, and implementing breakthrough ideas.' Putin noted that the challenges facing the modern world undoubtedly require a collective response. He argued that it is impossible to solve such problems alone, especially at the expense of others. Only joint efforts through organizations like BRICS and other international platforms can ensure the advancement of global civilization, he concluded. The Open Dialogue, held in April at the RUSSIA National Center, welcomed more than 100 guests from 48 countries. Participants explored the future through four main themes: 'Investments in Human Capital', 'Investments in Technology', 'Investments in the Environment', and 'Investments in Communication'. Summing up the outcome of the Open Dialogue during one of the SPIEF sessions, Maksim Oreshkin, deputy head of President Putin's administration, noted that the initiative had received broad international attention. 'It is through such an Open Dialogue that our future, and our understanding of that future, is being shaped,' Oreshkin said.

The final session of the 'Future of the World: A New Platform for Global Growth' open dialogue took place at the National Centre RUSSIA. Participants summed up the results of this large-scale event and emphasized its uniqueness and significance for the international community. 'The main thing is this: regardless of people's views, beliefs, or ideas – everyone has the opportunity to be heard. This became a key aspect of the open dialogue. Because very often, the ideas that initially seem controversial or premature turn out, in time, to be the ideas of the future,' said Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation, Maxim Oreshkin. The open dialogue began on April 28 and over the course of three days welcomed more than 100 guests from 48 countries. These included leading think tank experts, development institute members, youth organizations, as well as representatives from government and the business community. As part of the event preparations, the organizers held an essay competition. Participants were invited to share their vision of how long-term global changes might impact people's lives and well-being. Authors from over 100 countries submitted around 700 essays, which were compiled into a collection summarizing the outcomes of the open dialogue. 'This collection features bold ideas, vivid thoughts, and a fresh perspective on the future of the global economy... I am confident it will inspire thousands of people around the world to take their own steps toward change,' said Natalia Virtuozova, Director General of the National Centre RUSSIA. At the request of essayists and experts, it was decided to make the open dialogue an annual event. Moreover, the project is expected to expand significantly by 2026.
