Vladimir Putin will hold a joint meeting of the Council for Interethnic Relations and the Council for the Russian Language

May 18, 2015

The meeting will discuss the role the Russian language and the languages of Russia’s peoples play in strengthening Russia’s statehood and ways to improve measures to preserve and develop Russia’s various languages.

Preserving and developing languages and drafting and implementing language policy are essential for harmonising interethnic relations in Russia, and for cultural development, education, family upbringing and awareness-raising purposes, and strengthening the unity of multi-ethnic Russian people.

Supporting the Russian language as the state language and the languages spoken by Russia’s different peoples is an integral part of the State Ethnic Policy Strategy, approved by the President of Russia in December 2012.
