The session titled "Transformation of Trade and Connectivity Institutions in the New Reality" recently concluded in Vladivostok as part of the Open Dialogue "The Future of the World. New Platform for Global Growth," organised by the National Centre "Russia" and the TRIM Expertise Centre.
Moderated by Maxim Oreshkin, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office of Russia, the discussion focused on overcoming global fragmentation and building a fairer architecture for international trade. Key topics included the growing role of the Global South nations, regulatory harmonisation, strengthening Russia's trade ties with the Global Majority nations, and creating alternative cooperation mechanisms resilient to external pressure.
In her address, Victoria Panova, Head of the BRICS Expert Council-Russia and Vice Rector at HSE University, emphasised:
"Until now, our Western colleagues have operated with a sense of impunity and superiority over the Global Majority. This is why BRICS plays an invaluable role. Despite all the rhetoric from the West and their attempts to discredit the group, BRICS has demonstrated both its relevance and its capacity to propose new initiatives—not only in economic and financial spheres, but across all three pillars of #BRICS cooperation."
The Open Dialogue format, initiated by Russia under President Vladimir Putin’s leadership, is evolving into a sustainable ecosystem for generating and implementing breakthrough ideas addressing the challenges of our new era.
