World Peoples Assembly took part in the Celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the Establishment of China-Russia Strategic Partnership of Coordination
The seminar "Jointly Advancing the Implementation of the Global Governance Initiative and the 30th Anniversary of the Establishment of the China-Russia Strategic Partnership of Coordination" was held on April 21, 2026 at the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Russia.
The event was organized by the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in the Russian Federation and the Russian Center for the Study and Research of Xi Jinping's Ideas on socialism with Chinese Characteristics in a New Era.
Dmitry Novikov, Deputy Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs of the Russian Federation, delivered a welcoming speech at the seminar.
The speakers included:
Zhang Hanhui– Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the People's Republic of China to the Russian Federation;
Andrey Belyaninov - Secretary General of the World Peoples Assembly, a member of the State Commission of the Russian Federation for UNESCO
and many others.
In his speech, Andrey Belyaninov noted:
– Public diplomacy is the only force, the movement of the peoples of the world that can now raise current issues without looking back at political leaders. This is exactly what the first World Public Assembly, held in September 2025 at the Moscow World Trade Center, was dedicated to. The big two-day event brought together more than 5,000 people from 153 countries. One of the 47 sections there was dedicated to the concept of a Community of Common Destiny. The concept was discussed by representatives of six states. It describes the natural course of events for those who really assess the situation and want to make a difference in our world. Either we will create our own single destiny ourselves, or it will be created for us – and the former, of course, is preferable.
I would also like to make two proposals that, in my opinion, are particularly relevant on the eve of Victory Day.:
Firstly, we do not sufficiently support the initiative of our Chinese colleagues to revise the date of the outbreak of World War II. There is still no fair assessment of Japanese militarism and the actions that were carried out against the Chinese people during these years. This should be talked about loudly and, as they say, at all intersections. We must not forget about the real contribution of all the countries and peoples of Eurasia to the victory over fascism.
Secondly, I propose to create a Eurasian Section on the UNESCO platform. This is inspired by the events of the recent UNESCO General Session in Samarkand.
