Russian President Vladimir Putin has assured that current international developments require from Russia to take decisive measures, noting that the next years will be turning point years for Russia and the whole world which enters the age of radical changes and the world is strengthening with the variety of its poles.
Russian President Vladimir Putin delivers his annual address to the Russian Federal Assembly quoted by Russia channel as saying: “One of the features of the current age is none-existing a state in the world that has the ability to solve the international issues particularly economic ones.
“Russia stands against any state depends the theory of creative chaos and sows the seeds of sedition and disorder, and Russia insists to exert joint efforts to unify the world and the districts, ”Putin assured.
Putin, showing a profound grasp of not only the domestic situation, but the global as well, stressed the entire world is facing momentous challenges that do not exclude Russia.
“The coming years will be decisive and groundbreaking not only for Russia, but for the whole world, as it enters a period of transition and possibly even shocks,” he said.
The Russian leader noted that in the near future nations will be fighting not for natural resources, but for human resources and especially for human intellect. Increasing levels of consumption can be provided only by moving to a new level of production, which requires constant technological upgrades, Putin advised.
Given these new economic realities, “the demand for intellectual resources will only increase,” he added.
In this new world, which has significant implications in the economic and military sectors, “Russia must develop with confidence and maintain its national identity,” the President stated.
Putin told his audience that in order for Russia to remain strong and sovereign, the country must not only improve its demographic situation. It must also provide the basic requirements that allow Russians to excel in terms of their morality, creativity and professionalism.
Russia is standing against any state’s practices that depend on creative chaos and sow the seeds of sedition and disorder. Moscow insists on exerting joint efforts to unify the states and the districts in the world, Putin stressed.
The president said that the experience of the two latest decades proved that, pointing out to the interest of integrity and solidarity found in the US, Europe and Asia.
“This process, he added, is developing and we should not be out of this experience. We should use all our potentials and privileges with our neighbors of the Commonwealth of Independent States which have the same interest in integrity and solidarity.
Putin referred to his plans in the domain of reform and modernization of industry and all branches of economy.
“Our task, he added, is to build the rich and flourishing Russia, the military capability is the guarantee to Russia’s security.
Addressing the parliament, Putin said democracy is the only way to develop Russia. However, it should be based on its own traditions rather than implement standards imposed on the country from outside, the President underlined.
“We share precisely the universal democratic principles adopted throughout the world,” he noted. “But Russian democracy – is the power of just Russian people, with their own traditions of self-rule, and it is not at all a fulfillment of standards imposed on us from the outside.”
