Opening the meeting, Magomedsalam Magomedov noted that, in the face of external pressure and attempts to destabilise the socio-political landscape in Russia, interethnic relations remain stable and effectively managed. Furthermore, the unity and consolidation of the multi-ethnic society are progressively strengthening.
The Presidium of the Council for Interethnic Relations deliberated upon the implementation of the President's instruction to formulate a new State Ethnic Policy Strategy of the Russian Federation until 2036.
”The effective State Ethnic Policy Strategy has played an instrumental role in establishing a unified state national policy across our nation, ensuring stabilised and significantly enhanced interethnic relations. The core objectives of national policy, which were enshrined in the Constitution in 2020, must undoubtedly be preserved. Over the period of implementing the current Strategy, we have developed a system and effective tools at federal, regional, and local levels,“ the Deputy Chief of Staff emphasised.
Magomedsalam Magomedov also addressed the execution of state ethnic policy in the newly integrated regions of Donbass and Novorossiya, focusing on their harmonisation within the Russian national framework.
The Federal Agency for Ethnic Affairs presented a report on drafting a strategic document, detailing the basic spending parameters and measures anticipated in 2025 as part of the state programme for ethnic policy implementation.
During the meeting, nominations for the 2024 Presidential Prize for Contribution to Strengthening the Unity of the Russian Nation were identified for submission to the Council for Interethnic Relations.
Following the meeting, corresponding decisions were adopted.
