On Tuesday, St Petersburg hosted the annual informal summit meeting of heads of state of the Commonwealth of Independent States.
In St. Petersburg, the heads of the CIS countries met for the last time exactly two years ago. Of course, the world has changed a lot since then. Primarily due to the situation with the coronavirus. And everyone noticed how far from each other the leaders of the states sat. Vladimir Putin also touched on the topic of coronavirus in his opening speech.
The President also drew attention to the fact that, according to the latest research by the Gamelei Center, our Sputnik V vaccine also works perfectly against the Omicron strain.
Then the president gave the floor to the head of Rospotrebnadzor, Anna Popova, who spoke about the current situation and the need for a general plan to combat the pandemic.
The Commonwealth of Independent States celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. The CIS is 16% of the world territory; about a third of the world's coal and natural gas reserves, 20% of oil are concentrated on it. Therefore, the Commonwealth directly affects the economic and political climate not only in Eurasia, but throughout the world.
