Officials from the Presidential Executive Office and the federal executive bodies, along with ethnic community leaders, heads of public organisations, and members of the expert community, will take part in the meeting.
The Presidential Council for Interethnic Relations was established following the Presidential Executive Order of May 2012 On Ensuring Interethnic Unity. The same Executive Order instructed the Presidential Executive Office and the Government to draft a National Ethnic Policy Strategy, which was approved last December.
The meeting will take place at the Jewish Museum and Tolerance Centre. Mr Putin will visit the museum’s exhibits before the meeting begins.
The museum has spaces for permanent and temporary exhibitions, a library, a research centre, conference facilities, a children’s centre, and a café serving kosher food.
