The message reads, in part:
“It is heartening to see that your forum has once again brought together representatives of higher education and research institutions, prominent public and religious figures, writers and journalists for an open and meaningful discussion dealing with social sciences and civilisational issues that are of exceptional significance for the present and future of Russia and other countries.
This year, your meeting will focus on important topical matters related to the history, culture, and spiritual and national identity of our people. I would like to highlight that there will be a dedicated discussion on your agenda on the development of regional philosophical studies and the analysis of philosophical and ethical aspects of the widespread introduction of artificial intelligence into everyday life.
I am confident that your forum will be held in a constructive spirit, accomplish its scientific, educational and outreach mission and help popularise the rich traditions of Russian philosophical thought.”
