What did President Putin speak at the Economic Forum?

Russian President Vladimir Putin participates in the joint session of the Eurasian Economic Forum, held under the theme “Eurasian Integration in a Multipolar World”.

Putin pointed out that profound fundamental changes are taking place in the world arena, as more countries are committed to their own independent development, strengthening national sovereignty, and pursuing independent domestic and foreign policy.

“We see that really profound fundamental changes are taking place on the world stage. More and more countries are taking a path towards strengthening national sovereignty, pursuing an independent domestic and foreign policy, adhering to their own development model,” Putin said.

Putin stressed that Russia is always close to interacting with other countries, and strictly fulfills its obligations in full and on time.

“Russia always takes a responsible and conscientious approach to interaction with all countries, and we fully – I want to emphasize this – and in a timely manner fulfill the agreements adopted within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union,” he said.

Putin also noted that Ukraine, despite the fact that it calls Russia an aggressor, harvests money from transiting energy resources from Russia.

Putin stressed that the scenario of “collapse” of the Russian economy will not be achieved.

Putin noted that all those who advocate unipolarity harm the world economy and shoot themselves in the foot, “and those who are still forced to obey dictates

Putin noted that fundamental changes are taking place in the international financial sector, but Russia has not only adapted, but has become one of the leaders in this field.

Putin stressed that Russia pursues a policy of reducing the share of currencies of unfriendly countries in mutual settlements and intends to work more actively with partners around the world for a complete transition to the use of national currencies.

He said, “We pursue a policy of reducing the share of currencies of unfriendly countries in mutual settlements and intend to work more actively with partners around the world and in the Eurasian region, including for a complete transition to national currencies, to use national currencies in foreign trade settlements.”

The Eurasian Economic Union includes Russia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Armenia. In 2023, Russia will chair the bodies of the Union.
