Moscow to host global forum 'New Era-New Paths' with delegates from 55 nations

Over 1000 delegates from 55 countries gather in Moscow for World Forum advancing Putin's Greater Eurasian Partnership and multipolar global order through strategic dialogue.

"Only through open, respectful dialogue among equal partners can we drive Eurasian integration - Dmitry Stasyulis, IOEC President"

Moscow, August 20

Moscow is preparing to host the prestigious World Forum "New Era - New Paths," organized by the International Organisation for Eurasian Cooperation (IOEC), which will bring together more than 1,000 delegates and 120 influential speakers from 55 countries.

The event aims to foster dialogue and cooperation in support of Russian President Vladimir Putin's "Greater Eurasian Partnership" (GEP) initiative.

Set against the backdrop of a rapidly transforming global order, the central theme of the forum revolves around advancing a multipolar system and strengthening strategic partnerships across continents.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Aleksander Pankin emphasized the urgency of the GEP framework, stating that the world is evolving towards a balanced, multipolar international system.

According to TV BRICS, the forum's comprehensive business programme will feature 18 thematic sessions and high-level panels organized in partnership with the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Eurasian Economic Commission, the Civil 20 (C20) -- an official engagement group of the G20 -- and other global stakeholders from Africa, Asia, India, and the Gulf nations.

Dmitry Stasyulis, President of the IOEC and Russia's Sherpa to the C20, highlighted the role of the forum as a catalyst for deeper global integration. "The aim is to build bridges between all participants, aligning the interests of business, government, and civil society. Only through open, respectful dialogue among equal partners can we drive Eurasian integration and meet the global demand for a fair, secure world with equal opportunities for all," he noted.

A key attraction of the forum will be the series of bilateral and multilateral business dialogues with delegations from India, China, Bahrain, Ethiopia, Senegal, and Latin American nations.

The sessions will explore a broad spectrum of strategic issues, including the Greater Eurasian Partnership framework, the role of digital currencies and cross-border settlements, AI and digital transformation, investment flows, regional cooperation, and the legal architecture for international business.

In addition to discussions, several landmark agreements are expected to be signed. These include a strategic cooperation pact between the IOEC and Russia's Agency for Strategic Initiatives (ASI), and a memorandum on international leasing among six Eurasian countries: Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan.

The forum is poised to serve as a pivotal platform in shaping the future of Eurasian and global partnerships through inclusive diplomacy and visionary policymaking.

Multipolar world order is the need of the hour. For too long, a few countries have dominated global decisions. India's participation in such initiatives could help balance global power equations. Hope our delegates make the most of this platform!

While economic cooperation is good, we must be cautious about getting too close to any single bloc. India's strength has always been maintaining strategic autonomy. The digital currency and AI discussions sound promising though!

Good to see India mentioned specifically among the bilateral dialogues. Our trade with Eurasian countries has huge potential - especially in technology, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture. Hope our business community gets good opportunities! 🙏

As someone working in international trade, I appreciate initiatives that create alternative economic pathways. The cross-border settlements discussion could be game-changing for Indian exporters facing dollar dependency issues.

Hope the "inclusive diplomacy" they mention is truly inclusive. Sometimes these forums become talking shops without real outcomes. India should push for concrete deliverables that benefit our economy and create jobs back home.
