“The dynamics of international processes may make the next 20 years of human history more complex than the completed years,” Putin said at the plenary session of the Valdai Club.
He said, “The modern world is unpredictable. This is certain. If we look back 20 years and assess the magnitude of the changes, and then anticipate these changes in the coming years, we can assume that the next 20 years will be no less difficult, if not more.” .
The Russian President continued, “Experts talk about the threats of new regional conflicts, global epidemics, about the complex and ambiguous ethical aspects of the interaction between humans and artificial intelligence, and about how to combine tradition and progress with each other.”
Putin stressed that “it is not possible to talk about any hegemony in the new order of the world order.”
He said, “Western liberalism has turned into extreme intolerance towards any alternative and any sovereign and independent thought.”
He explained, “The West tried to deal a crushing blow to Russia and separate it from global politics and economics, but it failed.”
He stressed that “the world needs Russia regardless of any decisions of the leaders of Washington and Brussels.”
He continued, “The moment of truth is coming, and the previous structure of the world has ended irrevocably. A struggle has begun to form a new world, and this is not a struggle for power, but a struggle for principles.”
He said, “The West blindly believes in its impunity, and this heralds a tragedy. Russia does not want to teach anyone or impose its vision of the world.”
Putin stressed that “Russia does not consider Western civilization an enemy and does not ask the question: us or them.”

**Interviewer:** Good afternoon, and thank you for joining us today. We have with us Dr. Emily Chen, an expert in international relations, to discuss the complexities expected in global dynamics over the next two decades. Dr. Chen, can you elaborate on what you mean by the “dynamics of international processes” and how they might evolve?
**Dr. Chen:** Thank you for having me. The dynamics of international processes refer to the intricate interactions between nations, including diplomacy, trade, conflict, and cultural exchange. Over the next 20 years, we’re likely to see shifts in power, with emerging economies gaining influence while established powers may struggle to adapt. Factors such as technological advancement, environmental challenges, and social movements could further complicate these dynamics.
**Interviewer:** You mentioned power shifts—could you give us some examples of countries or regions that might be on the rise?
**Dr. Chen:** Certainly. Countries in Africa and Southeast Asia have immense potential for growth due to their youthful populations and rich natural resources. Nations like India and Indonesia are rapidly industrializing and could play pivotal roles in global governance. Additionally, we might see renewed influence from regional blocs like the African Union or ASEAN.
**Interviewer:** And with these changes, what are some of the major challenges that could arise on the international stage?
**Dr. Chen:** One significant challenge is the risk of conflict over resources, especially as climate change exacerbates scarcity. There’s also the potential for increased nationalism, which can lead to isolationist policies and hinder international cooperation. Cybersecurity threats will be another critical area, requiring nations to navigate complex technological landscapes.
**Interviewer:** In light of these challenges, how can countries better prepare themselves for the evolving global landscape?
**Dr. Chen:** Countries will need to prioritize diplomacy and multilateralism. Building strong international partnerships can enable nations to address global issues collectively, whether that’s tackling climate change, managing migration, or ensuring economic stability. Education and investment in technology will also be crucial for remaining competitive and resilient.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Dr. Chen, for your insights into what the future may hold. It’s indeed a complex yet fascinating time for global affairs.
**Dr. Chen:** Thank you for having me. It’s important for us to stay informed and engaged as these dynamics unfold.
