Vladimir Putin sent his greetings to participants and guests of the 13th St Petersburg International Legal Forum, which this year is being held under the motto ‘The Law: Lessons of the Past for the World of the Future.’
The message reads, in part:
”As is the tradition, you will be discussing a wide range of topical legal issues, most of which are directly related to the development of the system of international relations, as well as prospects for improving and harmonising national legal systems.
Today, amidst an actively emerging multipolar world order, one of the top priorities is to fine tune global governance institutions and collective security mechanisms so that they meet the demands of the time and work for the benefit of progress and prosperity. Such work should be based on positive historical experience and a mutual willingness to understand and take into account the lessons of the past. And of course, it is only through joint efforts that can we create a space of trust and cooperation based on the principles of equality of state sovereignty and respect for the cultural patterns and traditions of all peoples.
I am certain that the ideas and proposals expressed on the sidelines of the forum will help develop new legislative initiatives and will contribute to the development of legal science and education.
I wish the Forum participants and guests productive discussions and professional success“.
