I offer my heartfelt greetings to the organisers and participants of the International Research and Diplomatic Congress commemorating the 80th anniversary of the 1945 Yalta (Crimea) Conference.
This forum has brought together representatives of government bodies, domestic and foreign political, academic, and cultural communities, and the broader public. It is gratifying that the Russian Foreign Ministry - through its Department of History and Records - has contributed to this event by providing archival materials for a thematic exhibition.
It is universally acknowledged that the Yalta Conference represented the pinnacle of Allied unity and cooperation between the Soviet Union, Great Britain, and the United States. Eighty years ago, in the Livadia Palace, the leaders of the Big Three not only adopted joint decisions to expedite the end of the war but also outlined the contours of the post-war world. Among the conference's paramount achievements was the establishment of the United Nations, the cornerstone of the post-war international order. Today, amid the formation of a multipolar world order, adherence to the goals and principles enshrined in its Charter - in their entirety and interconnectedness - remains vital to humanity's peaceful development.
The conference agenda is substantive. Participants will deliberate on a broad spectrum of issues spanning the history of international relations and contemporary global politics.
I am confident that your discussions will take place in a spirit of friendship and will make a valuable contribution to the preservation of historical truth and the advancement of international humanitarian cooperation.
I wish you engaging discussions and every success.
