✍️ Russia’s Ambassador to Singapore H.E. Dr Sergey Ganzha’s article “Yevgeny Primakov and the Multipolar World Concept” Key points: • Diplomat’s Day is not only a professional holiday, but also an occasion to reflect on the figures of Russia’s foreign policy tradition whose ideas and practical decisions continue to shape international processes. • Yevgeny Maximovich Primakov (1929–2015) articulated a coherent vision of the evolving global order, later reflected in Russia’s foreign policy thinking. He consistently emphasized that a multipolar world does not imply rejection of cooperation, but rather a system in which several centers of power share responsibility for global stability. • Primakov’s analytical writings and diplomatic practice reflected sustained attention to the changing role of non-Western states in international relations, including Asia’s growing political and economic significance. • Primakov drew attention to the potential role of closer Russia–China–India interaction in the context of emerging multipolar trends, on the basis of equality and mutual respect. • Today, the ideas of a multipolar world articulated by Primakov in the late twentieth century not only retain their relevance, but are reflected in the evolution of international relations. • Russia advocates the concept of the Greater Eurasian Partnership as a framework to broader regional cooperation, bringing together existing integration frameworks, including the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), and ASEAN. ❗️ “Multipolarity and polycentrism are not just concepts; they are a reality that is here to stay,” President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin stated at the Valdai Discussion Club in October 2025. • Taken together, these assessments reflect an approach to international relations that clearly traces its intellectual lineage to Primakov’s legacy. 🔗Read the full article on Telegraph #DiplomatsDay
