The conference was attended by Head of the Federal Agency for Ethnic Affairs Igor Barinov, Vladimir Region Governor Alexander Avdeyev, deputy governors and representatives of federal and regional authorities, and members of the expert community.
Magomedsalam Magomedov said in his opening remarks that state national policy is a key priority when it comes to ensuring internal stability and ethnic security in the country. He emphasised the implementation of the Presidential Executive Order On Holding the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia in 2026 and the new State National Policy Strategy until 2036.
It was pointed out during the conference that the situation in the Central Federal District remains stable and manageable despite the unprecedented external pressure and attempts to destabilise our inter-ethnic relations. At the same time, participants spoke about significant risks in this sphere and held an in-depth discussion on the migration situation. They stated that the migration factor remains one of the most acute issues affecting inter-ethnic relations, which is why continued regulation in this sphere and systematic work with foreign nationals remain essential.
The regions of the Central Federal District were advised to adopt strategic planning documents as soon as possible and update state programmes in accordance with the provisions of the new Strategy to ensure the achievement of the target indicators. The participants highlighted the implementation of the President’s instructions aimed at enhancing the efficiency of local authorities’ implementation of state national policy.
Relevant decisions were taken following the conference.
