14th Annual Meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club. Day 1

The biggest event of the day was the Ceremony of the Valdai Club Award. The winner was Academician Vitaly Naumkin, a world-renowned orientalist who devoted his life studying the Arab world and was nominated for the Award for work on reaching an armistice in Syria. Also on October 16, a special session was held with the participation of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, which was devoted to the annual report of the Valdai Club "Report: The Importance of Being Earnest: How to Avoid Irreparable Damage." This is the last of a series of reports that are issued for the fourth consecutive year to the annual meetings in October.
