"We saw and we heard an analysis of the world in which we have to live and continue moving forward, understanding history, memory, the developments and the struggle of peoples to preserve freedom, dignity, culture and sovereignty," Rosario Murillo said

HAVANA, October 28. /TASS/. Nicaragua closely followed Russian President Vladimir Putin's speech at the Valdai Discussion Club plenary session, which demonstrated a vision of an emerging multipolar world, Nicaraguan Vice President Rosario Murillo said on Thursday.

"This morning we listened attentively to the speech of Russian President Vladimir Putin, <...> we saw and we heard an analysis of the world in which we have to live and continue moving forward, understanding history, memory, the developments and the struggle of peoples to preserve freedom, dignity, culture and sovereignty," the government’s news portal El 19 Digital quoted her as saying, "Our attention was focused on this speech, which we are analyzing and reflecting on today so that we can share it as a vision of what today's world and the emerging world are, a multipolar world where there is respect for all."

The 19th annual meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club, titled ‘A Post-Hegemonic World: Justice and Security for Everyone’, which has been held in Moscow since October 24, ended on Thursday with a plenary session featuring the Russian president.

Putin noted, in particular, that the era of Western dominance in the world is steadily becoming a thing of the past. He stressed that the most important and dangerous decade since World War II was ahead. In his speech, the president pointed out that Russia did not oppose Western elites and did not claim hegemony in a new multipolar world, opposing Western "neocolonial" globalization with real integration and calling for "building a symphony of human civilization".
