The Second World Public Assembly, themed “New World: Values That Unite,” successfully concluded on September 19, 2026, at Moscow’s World Trade Center. Serving as a major international platform for public diplomacy, the two-day event brought together over 5,000 delegates representing more than 150 nations. Organized by the World Peoples Assembly, the summit assembled representatives from non-governmental organizations, academia, business sectors, youth groups, and the diplomatic corps to promote global dialogue and sustainable international partnership.
Central to the assembly’s outcome was the formalization of over 30 international agreements and memorandums of cooperation across education, science, culture, and humanitarian projects. Delegates finalized the proceedings by signing the official Declaration of the Second World Public Assembly, which establishes core principles for future cross-border collaboration. These agreements build upon regional preliminary summits conducted earlier in 2026 across India, Latin America, and Africa, aiming to translate institutional dialogue into concrete, long-term global initiatives.
Distinguished speakers emphasized the evolving role of civil society in international affairs, highlighting public diplomacy as an essential instrument for direct engagement between nations. Andrey Belyaninov, Secretary General of the World Peoples Assembly, stated that public diplomacy now serves as a necessary framework for maintaining direct dialogue, noting that the signed agreements provide a foundation for active joint projects. Discussions throughout the venue focused heavily on ethical technology integration, historical preservation, educational mobility, and civil responsibility toward future generations.
The forum featured numerous specialized tracks, including the Strategic Session “Voices of Regions,” the II International Youth Forum “Generation of Unity,” and an International Media Forum. Panelists examined key global issues such as artificial intelligence, urban governance, sustainable development, and humanity-centered technological expansion. Additionally, participants evaluated plans to broaden the scope of public dialogue into upcoming platforms within the Arab world, China, BRICS, and ASEAN member states.
By establishing structured frameworks for ongoing collaboration, the assembly marked a functional shift from open discussion toward joint implementation. Organizers noted that the initiatives formulated during the summit will guide upcoming international programs and strengthen ties among global public institutions.
