Permanent participating countries, soon there will be 10 when belarus is accepted, plus three observer countries and 14 dialogue partners. In total, these countries represent almost half the worlds population and a quarter of global gdp. Of the nine states that are permanent members of the shanghai organization, six are cis countries. Shortly after the meeting in the sco format, Mikhail Mishusin met with his fellow members of the commonwealth and proposed establishing industrial ties between the countries. This is the preparation of a longterm document. Planning the development of eurasian integration, it is intended to become the foundation for shaping the appearance of the union for the future, taking into account the accumulated experience and modern trends. It is important to continue strengthening the technological sovereignty and a common Industrial Base in key sectors of the economy, in the spring the leaders of the five adopted changes to the alliance treaty, which provide for a supranational mechanism for supporting industrial cooperation. It is necessary to launch subsidies for such projects as early as next. So, at todays meetings in beshkek, initiatives were proposed on the implementation of which the development of economies within the cis and within the sco depends. The main thing is to maintain the momentum and, as the Prime Minister of the state council of china emphasized, to tirelessly follow the schedule for implementing decisions. Russia is ready for conversation with the west on issues of ensuring Eurasian Security, but now does not see prospects for communication on this topic with most European Countries. Sergei stated this. The head of the Russian ForeignMinistry Today took part in the Eurasian Security conference in minsk. Anastasia sakhovskaya about the statements made. The natocentric model of the world order has brought this very world to the brink of disaster. And western aggression against russia is only part of their crusade. These are quotes from a speech by the russian minister of Foreign Affairs. The United States is purposefully escalating the situation in the asiapacific region. They are conducting destructive politics in central asia and the southern caucasus. Set the middle east on fire and, by the way, it is russia that advocates a cessation of hostilities in the palestinianisraeli conflict. The geopolitical alignment is changing and not in favor of the west, and russia is confident that now , right now, a new , fairer World Architecture is being formed, but countries, of course, still have titanic work to do in this direction, sergei said lavrov. Russia is indeed ready for a dialogue with the west on this topic, but the prospects for such a conversation are still vague. As for the attitude towards this prospect on. The western neighbors on the eurasian continent, well, for now they are obvious, almost the vast majority of them are completely subordinate to washington, and today we do not see the prospect of a meaningful conversation with the vast majority of these countries, they are not visible, but in principle, i want to emphasize this again, we are always ready for joint work, if our western neighbors on the continent find the strength to become independent, but the west itself has destroyed the system of trust and arms control in europe, said Sergei Lavrov, the United States withdrew from the open skies treaties on missile defense, on the ban on shortmediumrange missiles , and russia is forced to respond accordingly. Increased strategic risks are created due to the forward deployment of American Nuclear weapons in a number of European Countries , the socalled implementation. Joint nuclear missions, this has an extremely destabilizing charge, against the backdrop of a general increase in threats from nato , forcing us to resort to compensating measures. On the sidelines before the start of the conference, Sergei Lavrov had a conversation, as they say, on his feet with his hungarian colleague ; in the hall, peter szijartto began his speech with gratitude for the invitation, although he said that he could once again be subjected to Harsh Criticism for coming to belarus, but budapest did not wants to be a hostage. The destructive policies of the European Union and hungarians name two conditions for peace in europe, these are two security conditions in europe, this is peace in ukraine and dialogue between east and west. Now we are in europe at four. We pay more for gas than in the usa, we pay three times more for electricity than people in china, it is very difficult to understand how the european economy can be competitive in such conditions, we look at the secure supply of Energy Resources as a more everyday issue, practical rather than political, it is the duty and responsibility of the hungarian government to guarantee a safe supply of energy. Because its physically impossible without russian sources, we will continue to cooperate in reasonable terms. However, thanks to natos efforts, even the osce has become a marginal platform. By the way, martin sidey is present here, who for several years supervised for the osce the minsk negotiations on ukraine here in the belarusian capital. True, he literally avoided questions from journalists, but about 300 experts representing three dozen countries international organizations. Ivan kuznetsov, news, minsk. The results of participation in the conference on security meetings with alexander lukashenko, Sergei Lavrov has already answered questions from journalists and said that moscow, for its part, is ready to talk with the west on security issues. Russia will not turn its back on its European Partners if they refuse to submit. In eurasia said the minister. Eurasia is a medical fact, it exists , it is the largest continent in the world, the richest continent in the world, if we take natural resources, the most promising continent in the world, because strategically. Transport, etc. Pass through it, or can pass through it logistics communications, there are already a lot of them, but obviously , in order to use all the advantages of this continent, it is necessary to create new transport corridors, northsouth, as you know, eastwest, all this makes joining forces simply mandatory for all normal countries. The state duma adopted in the First Reading the draft federal budget for the next 3 years, its priorities are defense and security, social obligations and Technological Development of the country, now we are joined by Maria Kudryavtseva, maria, hello, how many deputies supported the adoption of the budget, i know that representatives of some factions wanted to make adjustments . Natalya, hello, 320 deputies supported the budget in the First Reading, there were no abstentions , well, at the very beginning of his speech in the state duma, the head of the ministry of finance Anton Siluanov outlined the absolute priorities of the countrys Main Financial document this is a social obligation to strengthen russias National Defense capabilities and Technological Development. What parameters are included in the budget . In 2024 income is projected to be more than 35 rubles. Expenses are about 36. 5 trillion, and finance minister Anton Siluanov noted that he is confident that this income forecast is realistic, and even if in fact they are in the next year. This will not affect support in any way, thats what he said after the vote in the First Reading anton silanov. Despite the increase in expenses that we have outlined that we need, in these conditions, the budget remains stable in its design. We are reaching a budget balance at the primary level. This allows us have a budget deficit of less than 1 for the entire threeyear period, and this allows us to replenish the National Welfare fund; in total , 11. 2 rubles are provided in the budget for the fulfillment of social obligations, or 30. 6 of all budget spending, which concerns another absolute priority, the countrys defense capability, funds are also provided for this this is 10. 8 rubles or 29 of the spending structure, and despite the increase in these expenses, all social obligations are provided with financing and will be fulfilled in full. If we compare the parameters of this budget with what was planned a year ago, and you know that our budget is being adopted for a threeyear period, then we will see that for this year both income and expenses are 7 trillion, well, approximately i say, 7 trillion higher than what was originally planned for this threeyear period. But many believed that the russian economy was falling apart, that our budget revenues would fall, that disconnecting us from payment systems, numerous sanctions, and so on, would lead to complete collapse, we see a completely opposite picture, we discussed the key social support measures, so from january 1, 2024, pensions for nonworking pensioners will be indexed by 7. 5 , maternity capital will also be indexed for these purposes , more than one trillion rubles have already been provided for in the budget for 3 years, and more than 130 billion rubles have also been provided for the rapid growth of the minimum amount of wages. The most important thing is to ensure social obligations, of which there will be more. The president has set such tasks, we must solve them by reflecting them in the budget, this is what worries people, everyone. And then well move on to consideration of support for sectors of the economy, a specific region, and in the second reading we will focus on this, but still , in order for us not only to survive in the situation of sanctions, but to become stronger, to survive them, we are with the support of this budget, which you introduced today on behalf of the government, we can do this, namely the concentration of resources in these three areas, which are defined. Viktorovich, these are defense and security, these are social obligations and the Technological Development of the country, these are our main priorities, which are reflected in the draft Financial Plan for the next 3 years and are provided with the necessary financing. The main sources of financing the budget deficit for the next 3 years are government internal borrowings, well, in 2024, these are also funds from the National Welfare fund. In the First Reading of the bill. Has already been adopted, but by the second reading additional serious work will be carried out to finetune individual articles. Natalya, yes, thank you, Maria Kudryavtseva was on direct communication from the state duma, but now we have messages that come to the news agent feeds, in particular, here is a message with a link to the ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, representatives of the Palestinian Hamas movement are in contact. In moscow, there are no details on this topic yet, and also the deputy minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation , galuzin held a meeting on thursday with his counterpart from iran, ali bagheri kani, also a message with reference to our foreign ministry.

Kiril clearly decided for himself that he would go into medicine to help people, he knows firsthand how important this is, because his father just recently returned from a special military operation zone, yes, and this is a classmate now, and this is a classmate with our tricolor, i wanted to go to pharmacists , but i dont know, im interested in economics. All finance, what are your favorite subjects . Probably mathematics and english, also noted today how the republic is rapidly is being integrated into russian education, before the students met in person, they conducted lessons remotely, but according to school directors, nothing can replace live communication. The children attended all the lessons that were interesting to them, the teachers had communication with all the teachers of our school, the administration, we showed the curriculum. We talked about the work of the moscow electronic school, we showed our new textbooks, we showed our technical capabilities, probably the most important impression is, as they say, breadth russian soul, accepted as family , well, no, well, there were no boundaries or obstacles in communication, there were no roughnesses, it seemed like we just went to the next class next door. In turn, school no. 4 in the city of makeyevka invited children and teenagers from the Moscow School to visit. Moscow accepted the invitation. In the near future , schools in the New Territories will be equipped with modern equipment, gyms, and interactive whiteboards.

Probably for the third or even fourth time, they have already walked around vdnkh, they were not embarrassed by our such a harsh cold autumn, they are glad that they will soon come to russia in 2024 to the festival we are looking forward to it, it seems to me that russia is a pioneer in holding Youth Festivals, we come from a latin American Country and we have a great opportunity to take part in this international festival, lets get to know each other. Russia is a very attractive country, i think that this festival is a great opportunity to open the door to the big world, communicate with foreign people and discuss many projects, for example, how to give impetus to the development of small settlements, speaking about uzbekistan, this is a 30year border, as for me, youth is unlimited. We are now working to ensure that as many mexicans as possible come to russia next year, we are accepting applications, well, as for age, at 35, people are young at heart and 18, but this next year teenagers will also come to the festival, from 14 to 18 years old, perhaps the same guys will also come from other countries with the plan to accept 100 children, 500 from russia and 500 from other countries of the world, of course, i am glad that today we already have more than 160,000 applications received from more than 180 countries of the world , well applications are still being accepted, of course, the main goal of the world festival is an opportunity for young people from almost. All countries of the world to gather on one platform, discuss problems of interest, and here, of course, the task is for every person to find their place, to
