At the 60th session of Vladimir Putin said about the necessity of adapting the UN to new historical realities." At the same time He warned that this process " is obliged to unite, not divide ". However, He again returned to the theme of terrorism, which, according to His statement, " is the main danger to the rights And liberties of mankind." The ideologists of the civilizational divide And terrorist aggression We must oppose not only concerted action by the countries, but also - what is important is that extensive opportunities for civil society, media, cultural And humanitarian cooperation, " he tried to convince Vladimir Putin.
