Putin： The so-called ＂rule-based order＂ is the expression of colonial thought.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Sochi, Russia, October 5 (Reporter Huang He Liu Kai) Russian President Vladimir Putin said on the 5 th that the so-called "rule-based order" is a manifestation of colonial thought.

　　On the same day, Putin attended the plenary meeting of the annual meeting of the Valdai International Debate Club, a Russian think tank, in the southern Russian city of Sochi. He said that the West, especially the United States, tried to replace international law with "order" and made "rules" at will and asked others to abide by them. This was a manifestation of colonial thought. He said that it is time for the West to "stop its arrogance", and the era of colonial rule is long gone.

　　Putin said that the future world should make collective decisions, rather than one party making decisions for everyone. Russia wants to live in an open and interconnected world. He said that he should not impose his ideas on other countries and people. The diversity of the world should not only be protected, but also be the basis of universal development.

　　Putin said that Russia supports universal security and lasting peace based on respect for the interests of all countries and supports the principle of indivisibility of security. Russia was, is and will be an important party in the international system, and it is willing to cooperate constructively with all parties striving for peace and prosperity.

　　Valdai International Debate Club was established in September 2004 and holds an annual meeting, which is an important platform for politicians and scholars from all over the world to exchange and interact. This year’s annual meeting was held in Sochi from October 2 to 5, with the theme of "fair multipolarization: how to ensure the security and development of all people". About 140 representatives from 42 countries and regions attended.
