«It is interesting to consider Latin America in the context of the concept of a multipolar world. In this case, this region, with a huge territory and a population of just under a billion people, is one of the centers of power. There are both developed countries with great influence, and countries with only developing, but actively developing, economies... This is also a single field of traditional values. As you know, Latin America is a very religious region, it is customary to go to church there, and for them, as for us, a traditional family with a strong marriage and children is important. In other words, despite our significant geographical distance, we have a very similar worldview. Well, in general, they have a very positive, joyful attitude towards life, which they project onto everyone around them...Public diplomacy is unique: it provides direct contact with civil society and allows for prompt response to requests, laying the basis for long-term cooperation», - Nikita Anisimov, a Member of the Civic Chamber of Russia, believes.
