atmosphere did the negotiations take place in the kremlin? anton potkovenko will tell you. the negotiations took place in a friendly and at the same time businesslike atmosphere. this is how vladimir putin described the meetings held in the kremlin with the president of uzbekistan, shavkat mirziyoyev. the productivity of the negotiations is also evidenced by the ceremony of exchanging documents; in particular, a joint statement was adopted by the leaders of the two countries on deepening the comprehensive strategic partnership and alliance. there were really substantive, very productive negotiations, vladimir putin noted, in which in particular , the topic of trade and economic cooperation, which is becoming closer and closer, was discussed in great detail. our country is also a leading investor in the economy of uzbekistan ; more than 3,000 enterprises with russian participation operate in the uzbek market. in general , russian capital investments have already exceeded $13 billion. or is in the early

since may, he has been appointed here as the commander of the twentieth motorized rifle division, which i am very proud of, it’s never quiet here, it’s just that when it’s quiet it’s always annoying, when you were mobilized, they asked you how you turned out to be such a handsome man, i don’t ask, where’s dad from ciara, well, you're straight up at war international, how different the nato concept is from ours, they don’t have the experience that... we have, the most expensive reward is when the personnel call you daddy, beautiful decorated platforms, half-naked women in feathers walk along the sambodrome,

the russian behaves like that will not lead, the wanderer does not know how to show our culture to the world, my acquaintance: you are brazil, this is natural, the series is slaves of nezaura. slaves of nesaura was my first television role and i became very famous not only in brazil but in the world. this is favella, i grew up in a favela, it is an integral part of my life. i agree with those who say that brazil is green russia, and russia is northern brazil. hello, this is the senate program, my colleague vera krasova and i, vladimir nesterov, will tell you about the key events in the federation council and how the work of senators affects the development of the regions of our country. learn more about everything right now. russia and

latin america - a trajectory of common interests based on equality of mutual respect and a call to join forces against pressure from third countries. it's time to go global. the un community in other formats firmly declared the inadmissibility of any unilateral sanctions, condemned them and achieved their bans. the growing role of parliamentary diplomacy and the movement towards multipolarity are russia's priorities in the year of its upcoming chairmanship of brix. brix , by definition, is an inclusive construct, that is, it includes all potential participants who are ready... together, a guarantee of strict fulfillment of all social obligations and conditions for sustainable development, what the federal budget will be for the next 3 years. we have to solve the important task set by the president, to ensure the transition to a supply-side economy and an economy of high wages.

farm products and forms of sales, how to help small farms gain access to large retail chains? the farmer must have the right to sell products under the brand. farming, which is in demand by people, and actually avoid such difficult competition with large manufacturers. how does farm support work and do sanctions hinder them? our report. and i immediately want to ask how much milk a cow gives; from each of these cows on the farm they get about 40 liters of milk per day. russian parliamentarians advocate strengthening the economic and political potential of the global south, represented by the countries of latin america. this statement was made by valentina. during the international parliamentary conference russia-latin america, which took place in moscow. the forum brought together about 300 participants, these were parliamentary delegations from russia, latin america, the caribbean, representatives of international organizations, experts, public figures, representatives of government authorities,

the diplomatic corps. the president spoke about the high role of parliamentary diplomacy in strengthening interaction between our countries. intensifying direct dialogue through parliaments opens up very good opportunities for deepening. cooperation and its expansion through new areas of joint activities. i believe it is very timely to intensify the interparliamentary formats of russia’s relations with latin american states really require the support of legislators on many issues related to the further expansion of multifaceted russian-latin american ties. this is precisely what the current international parliamentary conference: russia-latin america is aimed at. and let me sincerely wish you, the participants in these, these events, the organizers of successful work, all the best. and of course, i want to wish you, as parliamentarians, successful work in your

noble activities in your countries. thank you very much, welcome to russia, all the best. the current conference convincingly proves that our countries have a desire for mutual interest in developing mutually beneficial multifaceted ties, valentina matvienka emphasized, and russia’s friendship with latin america is not afraid of any tests. peace according to the chairman. the federation is irreversibly moving towards a fair multipolar model. its central forces are sovereign, free and independent states, which are guided exclusively by their national interests, they carry out the will of others. and latin america is certainly becoming one of these centers of a renewed world, which is based on equal rights and mutual respect, noted valentina matvienko. and she called on the countries of latin america and the caribbean to join forces, including to resist. illegal sanctions and restrictions from western countries. we continue to be responsible partners and

true friends, even despite the sanctions pressure that individual states in latin america also experience. we categorically against sanctions, against any unilateral restrictions that are biased, illegitimate in nature, violated. international law and international trade rules, and of course, in general, have a negative impact on the international economy. let's unite our efforts at international parliamentary platforms in the fight against this lawlessness. is it really acceptable that in the 21st century the island of freedom, cuba , has been located for more than 60 years? under blockade. is it really acceptable that

in the 21st century one country extends its jurisdiction to the sovereign states of the world? forces them to support certain sanctions against a huge number of states. it seems to me. the time has come for the world community, at the un, in other formats, to firmly declare the inadmissibility of any unilateral sanctions, condemn them and achieve their ban, because these are sanctions against people, not against the regime, against the state, but against citizens, how then to be one of the main values ​​of the west, human rights, when they are so flagrantly violated by the united states of america. valentina matvienko clarified that

our country has already signed interstate agreements with 24 latin american countries and this work continues. russians can travel to most countries on the continent without visas, and during the pandemic, russia sent humanitarian aid, system testing for covid-19, and vaccines to latin america. including to venezuela. it was the russian drug sputnik v that became the first vaccine that this country received. from abroad, this was especially noted at a meeting with valentina matvienko, chairman of the national assembly of the bolevarian republic venezuela, jorge rodriguez gomez. the head of the chamber of regions, in turn, noted that russia highly values ​​venezuela as one of the most reliable, proven friends in latin america, including for its balanced position in the current difficult conditions. cuba is another reliable partner of our country in the caribbean, relations with which span a decade of friendly cooperation. between our countries in the first half of the year, compared to last year, grew six times,

there is potential for further growth, this valentin matvienko noted at a meeting in the upper house with the chairman of the national assembly of people's power and the state council of the republic of cuba, esteben lasa hernand. what does intensified contacts with latin american countries mean for our country and what are the long-term prospects? we will discuss this with deputy chairman of the federation council konstantin kosachev. he is our studio guest today. konstantin iosifovich, quite recently the russia-africa forum was held in russia, it turned out to be very representative, just 2 days ago the russia-latin parliamentary conference ended. america, well, it’s clear that these two events are slightly different in status, but nevertheless, can they be compared from the point of view of the economic and political interests of our country? comparisons can be made, comparisons must be made, both with each other and in relation to those forums that were held before, well, let’s say,

the russia-africa summit, not parliamentary, but let ’s say, presidential, was already the second. as you know, and it took place uh, this year in completely different conditions, under the most severe pressing - our opponents, who by hook or by crook did not allow potential summit participants into the russian federation, the same thing happened with the russia-africa parliamentary forum, and the same thing happened with the russia and latin america parliamentary forum, we just received dozens of messages about how our... partners, long-time, experienced , well, they simply threw up their hands and said, of course we are ready to come, of course we are interested in dialogue with the russian federation, in this case through the parliamentary line, but we ask understand, they have given us such and such conditions that assistance will be stopped , sanctions will be introduced, personal, economic,

political, whatever else up to what they call military, and in this situation we are forced to either go into... communication mode via video link, or in principle ask us to understand, this is just for a visit to moscow, yes , this is just for a visit to moscow, this is completely unscrupulous interference in the sovereign affairs of two or three, any number of states that do not consider themselves to be part of this golden billion, to this community, the collective west and which, by virtue of their own sovereignty guaranteed by the charter of the organization, in theory should have every reason to develop relations with each other as they see fit, but this is something that the same one categorically does not accept collective west, well, as far as africa is concerned, since we have already started with it, i’ll just tell you that in the us congress,

a completely odious bill called countering influence is currently undergoing the second reading procedure. russian federation on the african continent. this is where the united states of america with its congress is and where the relations between russia and the countries of the african continent are. this is simply insulting towards african countries, it is of course unacceptable towards russia, but this is already practically an established law in the united states of america. i do not rule out that similar laws will appear in relation to influence or presence, or. russia's participation in some processes on the asian continent on the latin american continent i i am absolutely sure that the same laws will appear in relation to china , in relation to other geopolitical challenges to the dominance of the collective west in the world, if they get away with it, it is clear that russia is expressing its indignation

at what is happening, but it is very important , so that the same position... on the continent and we also talk about this in our parliamentary forums. let's talk in more detail about the russia-latin america parliamentary forum, how representative it was and what you would note based on its results? continuing the thought, i can say that these forums, each of them, received degrees of representativeness, taking into account the circumstances with which they were accompanied. probably, the initial calculation of our opponents was that, in principle, none of the invitees would come to moscow, and thus the well-known thesis about the total international isolation of russia would be confirmed, but there is no isolation, in fact, and this is confirmed

by every such forum , if we talk about the recent parliament forum... russia and lattinskaya america, there were representatives of more than three dozen delegations. and, well, at least a dozen of them were headed by senior officials of the respective parliaments, speakers, and deputy speakers. it was a very representative conference, and almost all of latin america was represented at it. yes, in some cases these were representatives not of the ruling forces, say, but of the opposition. we know that in latin america the range of opinions is very wide, and there are countries there that are truly pro-western, which means. anti-russian positions, one can only guess to what extent they independently, sovereignly formed these positions, or this was also the result of pressure on them from the outside,

rather the latter, but in any case, it was a representative meeting and most importantly, it turned out to be a very meaningful conversation, as on current issues of bilateral relations between russia and the relevant countries, i think this is much more important, well, how we would all like to see the future of humanity, the future world order, it is quite obvious, that the number of countries that deny a unipolar world, that deny this hegemony of the collective west, is growing, and growing in geometric progression, so all the risks, all the flaws, all the threats that humanity poses, that same model of a unipolar world, about which so much has been said, it was said, probably, more in such a theoretical sense, it seems that it is not good when one group of states rules the rest of the world, well, by definition it cannot be liked, but now

it became obvious that with this model, completely illegal seizures of financial assets are possible, possibly real estate seizures, possible speculation in currencies, possible transport blockades, here is a huge number of completely illegal ones, the responsibility for this is 100% borne by the collective west with its manic idea of ​​​​building a unipolar world . we will now take a break for a short advertisement, and then we will not continue our interview with konstantin.

investment rating, economics, through specific stories, we can reach people, we we often talk about money, the amounts are serious, in russia there is a clear and clear signal, at what point will you say, that’s it, i’ve done this? project, everything i can, i will never say whether russian industry is capable of replacing foreign suppliers, it is necessary to mobilize all resources, give me the recipe , in general, this is how to achieve what you have achieved, it seems to you that you are on top of the world, you began to give up and go , is russia ready to change, is there a revolution taking place in any structure?

why are you pestering me, what do you want?

every time i worry when he leaves, but he returns, he promised me, the lord of the wind. we continue our interview with deputy chairman of the federation council konstantin kotsachev. konstantin iosifovich, let’s talk about an organization that very often lately stands in opposition to the unipolar world, this is brix, i know you recently returned from the brix summit in johannesburg. the next year is remarkable for brix, as many as six countries - in addition, they become members of brix, which makes 11 countries, and also

is noteworthy from the point of view that russia will chair this organization , what do you think, is there some kind of historical mission for russia, because in fact, for the first time russia will chair an organization that will represent 11 countries, that is, well , somewhere half of the population of our planet, well, 45% to be precise, this is very close to half, but there are other factors that predetermine the significance of the brix unification in the modern world, even now the current brix five. according to gdp recalculated according to purchasing power priority exceed seven, already five, when there are 11 of us, this gap will only increase, already on the scale of eleven countries, we will produce 36% of the gross domestic product, the gross national product of the entire world economy, this is a powerful indicator, russia really the mission is historic, with its chairmanship in 2024

. you quite rightly noted that it is connected with launching brix on a qualitatively new basis, and here we are not even talking about the number of countries, but about the number positions, interests, this is the diversity that we have learned to overcome, to successfully overcome within the framework of the five, which we have yet to learn to overcome within the framework of 11 countries, maybe in the future within the framework, because let me remind you, there are at least twenty countries, in addition to the current six, new, is showing interest in either joining brix or establishing closer relations with it, with this association, so probably the first task is to preserve the completely unique culture of interaction between really strong states, strong members of the international community with different

interests, with different aspirations, with different understandings of what should happen in the future, but nevertheless, not focusing on differences, but bringing positions together where they can be brought together, a culture that is completely unknown , relatively speaking , the north atlantic alliance, the european union of seven, where unanimity is forcibly imposed and the principle is professed that whoever is not with us is against us, brix , by definition, is an inclusive construct, that is, it includes... all potential participants who are ready to work together, this is the first and main mission that the russian federation has to implement within the framework of its chairmanship, i am sure that it will be implemented successfully, we have a very ambitious chairmanship plan , there are more than 200 events, including parliamentary ones, by the way, but this is also the philosophy that we have been offering to the modern world over the past years and decades, in our concept, in

general it turns out to be like this, you know, a global cradle where this multipolarity takes its real shape will ultimately, i am sure, become the practical model of the world order that people are waiting for, and which will ultimately be much more effective than all previous models. next in our program: a guarantee of strict fulfillment of all social obligations and conditions for sustainable development. what will the federal budget be for the next 3 years? we have to solve an important task set by the president, to ensure the transition to an economic supply and the economy of high wages. farm products and forms of sales, how to help small farms gain access to large retail chains? a farmer should have the right to sell products under the farm brand, which are in demand by people, and in fact avoid such difficult

competition with large producers, how does support for farms work and whether sanctions interfere with them, our report, i immediately want to ask how much milk a cow gives , from each of these cows on the farm they receive about 40 liters of milk per day. guarantee strict fulfillment of all social obligations to citizens, including support for families with children, as well as indexation of payments, benefits and the minimum wage, the most important component of the country’s main financial document. valentina matvienko stated this at parliamentary hearings on the parameters of the draft federal budget for the next 3 years. according to the chairman of the federation council, full assistance should be provided to participants and veterans of the northern military district, members of their families, and the needs of the armed forces should be financed. the head of the upper house also emphasized that the russian economy has recovered, and now it is important to create conditions for further stable and long-term development. what russia has managed to do is power.
