Thursday marked the end of the World Youth Festival, which was held in Russia. The event brought together about 20,000 young people from all over the world and gave them an opportunity to engage in discussions, collaborate, and share experiences.
One of the most significant events of this week was the world's biggest youth gathering — the World Youth Festival — an event that didn't go unnoticed by our AI-powered host Joy.
The festival opened on March 1 in the Russia's federal territory Sirius on the Black Sea coast. More than 300,000 people across all continents and 190 countries have shown their interest in participating. Unfortunately, Russia has "not been able to accept everyone," as the country's president, Vladimir Putin, said.
Speaking at the festival, the head of Russian diplomacy Sergey Lavrov emphasized the importance of multipolarity, which should be built on the full application of international law.
Furthermore, this event became a platform for the development of Russian-African relations, including economic, as Emma Kantema-Gaomas, Namibia's Deputy Minister of Sport, Youth and National Service noted.
The festival clearly showed that Russia has not become isolated from the rest of the world, despite attempts by Western countries to achieve this.
Sputnik was an information partner of the event.
