The Russian leader noted that the forum gathered participants from many different Russian regions. Delegates from several foreign countries also joined the Moscow gathering this year. Putin highlighted the event’s growing international reach and relevance.

Dialogue Between Faiths Called More Important Than Ever

In his telegram, Putin stressed why open dialogue matters so much right now. He wrote:

Unity Through Service Takes Center Stage

Putin expressed confidence about this year’s chosen theme for discussion. The theme, “Unity of Peoples in the Diversity of Service,” will likely spark real progress. He expects open discussions, panel talks and round tables to drive that forward.
