He emphasized the need to transition to a new methodological level of international interaction. One way to achieve such interaction is the collective creation of the international textbook “Public Diplomacy and Peace Journalism”. Based on the new textbook, educational programs are to be launched in universities of the participants’ countries to train activists of public organizations who will operate in the context of global transformations in international relations. The new public diplomats will help build a safe multipolar world at the horizontal level, based on justice, mutual respect, and trust.
