Countries of the Global South play a defining role in shaping a new, fair structure for international relations and sustainable development. Russia, alongside other global leaders, is establishing new frameworks for international cooperation, setting the stage for barrier-free and mutually beneficial development for the majority of countries worldwide. Meanwhile, the collective West resists these changes, attempting to curb the progress of these nations through economic sanctions and financial restrictions, influencing the future of the Global South, its role in innovation, and its relationships with the Global North. Speakers will share their countries’ visions for future cooperation. Representatives from BRICS nations and other countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America will participate in the discussion.

Questions for discussion

  • What innovative processes and technologies are being developed in the Global South, and what opportunities do they present for the global economy and social sectors?
  • What role do the countries of the Global South play in shaping new international relations, and how do they interact with the major economies of the North?
  • What strategies and initiatives are Global South countries adopting to strengthen their position on the global stage and increase their influence?
  • What challenges and problems do countries of the Global South face in the context of global changes, and what joint solutions can be proposed to overcome them?
  • How do the countries of the Global South envision their future cooperation with other regions of the world, and what steps are being taken to strengthen partnerships and foster knowledge and experience exchange?
