President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Colleagues, good afternoon.

Today I suggest we consider matters related to information exchange, problems with the dissemination of information, including contacts with our foreign partners in this area. Information is an extremely important part of modern reality, as an area of activity; I mean all things related to concerns of mutual interest of course. I am referring to security, the environment and epidemic response efforts. We will consider these problems today.

We have a speaker. Let us get started and discuss the draft of the corresponding resolution. Go ahead, please.
