"See you in Moscow!": expert from Malaysia invites participants to a key dialogue on the future at the National Centre RUSSIA

One of the key events of the Open Dialogue "The Future of the World. A New Platform for Global Growth" — the January Expert Dialogues — will be held on 30 January at the National Centre RUSSIA. One of the international participants, Dr. Rais Hussin, has extended an invitation to everyone who cares about our shared future.

The expert emphasised that the uniqueness of the Open Dialogue at the National Centre RUSSIA lies in its focus on collective creativity and a "shared workshop" for rethinking the rules of global development.

"Today, a country’s future is determined not so much by its territory or labour force as by its ability to create digital platforms, manage data and even influence the way we think. The task is to ensure that the global majority ceases to be merely a user of other people’s platforms and applications. It is time for us to become the architects of our own future — sovereign, yet open to cooperation. In our complex transitional era, it is not enough simply to talk. We need a shared creative workshop for reassembling the world. It is precisely here, at the Expert Dialogue, that we can bring together different ideas to create new rules of the game — rules of growth that are open, fair and place people at the centre. I am very much looking forward to this important conversation and to working together on practical solutions. See you in Moscow!" said Dr. Rais Hussin.

The Open Dialogue "The Future of the World. A New Platform for Global Growth" is a large-scale initiative of the National Centre RUSSIA that has already become part of global history, bringing together more than 3,000 experts from dozens of countries. The first Open Dialogue was held in April 2025. By decision of the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, the event will be held annually.

The programme of the January Expert Dialogues focuses on the key challenges and megatrends shaping the economy of the future, including finance, demography, technology and the labour market. The keynote speaker and moderator of the event, which will set the thematic direction for Open Dialogue 2026, will be Deputy Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office of the Russian Federation, Maxim Oreshkin.
