The participants of the meeting emphasized the high importance of public diplomacy, its growing role in the modern world and the need for constant dialogue between peoples. In particular, Haykaz Mikaelyan, Adviser to the Head of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, compared it to breathing – public diplomacy plays as important a role for the whole society as breathing does for the body.
Svetlana Smirnova, Chairperson of the General Council of the World Peoples Assembly, noted in her speech that public diplomacy does not replace, but complements the traditional model of international cooperation and acts as a new force for peacemaking, and public leaders become goodwill ambassadors.
She presented the World Public Assembly, an event dedicated to the International Day of Peace, which will take place on September 20-21 in Moscow. Its motto and central theme will be "A World of Conscious Unity."
