The head of Crimea discussed with Chingiz Yakubov the results of the meeting of the Council under the President of the Russian Federation for Interethnic Relations

Chingiz Yakubov informed Sergei Aksenov about the results of the meeting of the Council under the President of the Russian Federation on Interethnic Relations, which took place on November 5 under the chairmanship of the Head of State and was timed to coincide with National Unity Day.

Among other things, the meeting participants discussed the results of the implementation of the State National Policy Strategy until 2025, and also determined the main directions of the new edition of the document, designed for the period until 2036. The key principles remain the unity of the multinational people of Russia while maintaining ethnocultural and linguistic diversity and the strengthening of all-Russian civic identity and self-awareness. President Vladimir Putin also supported the proposal to declare 2026 the Year of the Unity of the Peoples of Russia.

As Sergei Aksyonov emphasized, preserving and respecting the languages, traditions and cultures of all peoples living in Russian Crimea is one of the priorities of the authorities, social activists, and religious figures. The State Committee for Interethnic Relations of the Republic of Crimea, the Interfaith Council of Crimea “Peace is the Gift of God”, the Council for Interethnic and Interfaith Relations under the Head of the Republic of Crimea, and other organizations that contribute to the strengthening of interreligious and interethnic harmony and peace have been established and are successfully operating in the republic.

Sergey Aksyonov added that work in this area will continue. Only through joint efforts can we ensure peace and prosperity for future generations of Crimeans.
