On June 28, the Valdai Club held a discussion dedicated to the presidential elections in the Islamic Republic of Iran and the potential for the development of Iranian-Russian relations. The event was moderated by Timofei Bordachev, Programme Director of the Valdai Club.
Peace is in everyone’s interest. Socrates recalled, two thousand years ago, that no one is totally right or totally wrong. To achieve peace and put an end to conflicts, the reasons and limitations of all contenders must be recognised. It is this secular choice that paves the way for diplomacy.
With the West’s diminished ability to exert control over the rest of the world and extract material gains, the process of internal consolidation within the region is accelerating. This implies that national political structures are no longer expected to be capable of creatively addressing public concerns, writes Valdai Club Programme Director Timofei Bordachev.
