Valdai Club

Although Russia’s relations with the abstract “collective West” continue to be tense today, lately some changes have appeared, primarily with respect to France. In August, a meeting between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Emmanuel Macron took place at France’s Fort de Brégançon; the latter announced that “Western hegemony” was nearing its end, and outlined the need for a “reset” in relations between Russia and Europe.

On October 14, at 15:30, the Valdai Discussion Club will meet with Sylvie-Agnès Bermann, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the French Republic to the Russian Federation.
