At the very beginning of the meeting, Alexey Chupakhin, Representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry in Samara, greeted everyone. He noted that despite the fact that the UN system is currently being heavily criticized, this does not allow it to be deprived of its status as the main international negotiating platform, where agreements with legal and political implementation can and should be reached. He stressed: “In July of this year, at the suggestion of Russia, an open debate of the Security Council was held on the issue of building a more just and sustainable world order. Of course, it is important to continue the discussion that has begun both at the UN and at other venues.”
