From August 17 to 20, the IV International Buddhist Forum titled \u201cBuddhism in the Dialogue of Cultures: The Future of Humanity\u201d is being held in Kyzyl, the capital of the Republic of Tuva. This event, organized against the backdrop of deep respect for the region\u2019s historical and cultural heritage, is an important milestone in the context of modern intercultural and interreligious interaction.<\/p>\n
The greeting from the President of the Russian Federation to the forum participants was read out by Sergei Gryzykhin, Deputy Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Siberian Federal District. The address emphasizes the symbolic significance of holding the forum in the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia in the Republic of Tuva, a recognized center of Russian Buddhism.

The President of the Russian Federation noted that the Russian Buddhist sangha is an integral part of the global Buddhist community, making a significant contribution to maintaining interethnic harmony and promoting the ideals of goodness and justice. The Russian sangha is actively developing cooperation with foreign Buddhist religious organizations and academic schools, participating in the implementation of joint projects and initiatives. These words underscore the global significance of the forum, which transcends national borders and contributes to strengthening the international Buddhist community.<\/p>\n
