SOCHI, November 7. /TASS/. Russia, like the entire Russian people, aims for a peaceful development of the situation in the world, Russian President Vladimir Putin said, speaking at the Valdai discussion club meeting.

Putin noted that all BRICS countries aim for peace.

"Russia, represented by yours truly today, and the entire Russian people, I assure you, aim for a peaceful development of the situation in the world, which would create preconditions for prosperity of all participants of the international communication. It is impossible to predict that, but that is what one should aspire for."

The head of state expressed his hope that, one day, there will be a mechanism for the search for compromises in the world.

"I would like the world to be balance, I would like the nascent multipolar system to take into interests of all participants of the international communication into account, as much as possible," he said.
