 The last, but not the least, speaker on our list is Alexander Panof, Ambassador Extraordinary in Plenary Potentiary. When he was ambassador to Japan, we had probably the best relations within the brackets of Northern Territories and all of that stuff. But definitely the deterioration was not to his arrival to Moscow, where he became the Dean of the Diplomatic School, one of the best diplomatic institutions in the Russian Federation. So the floor goes to Alexander Panof. Thank you very much. Thank you, Mr. Chair. And I want to be brief and to return to the subject of how Russia will be in 20 years. Well, you know, it's very easy to make prognosis and I follow the advice of Prime Minister Winston Churchill. He said that obligation of diplomat is to prepare to leaders very convincing prognosis what will happen some days ahead. And when these prognosis will not be realized, then you should prepare even more convincing report, why it didn't happen. I am sure that in 20 years I will not be able to prepare new prognosis, but now I can say anything. And well, in 20 years, please check if you will remember, of course, what I said. Well, on my view, in 20 years we will have, it's already was mentioned by Polovot, definitely, China and the United States. China in 14 years already will have 30% of vote GDP. And China's dream, revival of China is a very serious matter. And America simply doesn't know what to do with China. And Trump is now will go to China, but he is going to talk, as he mentioned before leaving, that he will talk about trade and North Korea. Is it really the problem between America and China? No, not of course, but it just showed us that America doesn't have any strategy toward China. And before it was idea to create America, as you remember. China rejected idea because China in such configuration will be a weak power. But China is never wanted to be a laser friend or a laser partner to anybody. Well, so I think that China already preparing to such situation when it will be by two Polovot. They approached United States and said it was three or four years ago when Xi Jinping met with Obama. And he said, let's divide the Pacific Ocean. Pacific Ocean is big and well, for us it will be South China Sea, Eastern China Sea and you may take the rest. America said, no, how come we can't allow that you will prevent us for free navigation and such and such. For China it was just as America said, we will block your naval routes in some case of emergency. Then China reacted as one road, silk road program. Just we will not need these sea routes. We can go to Europe without your permission and freely. Now also China is starting to create or change financial system, creating their own bank systems, world class bank systems. And saying that yes, in the future China may ask not only to reorganize IMF or World Bank, but the Chinese position in such organizations will prevail, will be above American positions, which is quite possible. Then I think that in such configuration what might be the place for Russia? Well, it's an interesting question. I see that for Russia it will not be any other way as to join China. Because Europe, whatever maybe optimistic prognosis will not welcome Russia, whatever will do. For Europe, Russia in Europe it's the end of EU and they do anything possible just to keep us out of this organization. So, and we see also that who is the most anti-Russian Germany? And for me it's rather strange. You see already academician Denkin said that we lost 42 million lives during the war. And I don't understand what moral right Germany has to impose on us any sanctions after what they did. And after Gorbachev just gave green light for unification of Germany. But Germany is now once again pretending to be a great power at least in Europe once again. And Russia it will be an opponent and will be rival. So no way. Some are saying that it's simply Merkel doesn't like Putin. Putin's dog afraid Merkel when they met in Sochi. That's why he doesn't like him. That's it, of course, joke. But in reality it is so that the most anti-Russian state now even not Great Britain. Great Britain of course traditionally was not happy with Russia, but Germany. So for Russia is only one way just to go to China and on what conditions? Well, it will be I think some kind of union. It will not be alliance because China they don't want to have ally states. And traditionally they didn't have such states. But it will be some kind of a partnership where China will be with economic might and Russia with military and to some extent technology might and with resources which is so necessary for China. Well, here we talked about energy, oil and gas and that some day all cars will be electric powered. And no one even I think realized just have such picture. Several million cars one night will be recharged their batteries. How much electricity it will necessary to have and where to get this electricity? Of course electric power stations should generate it. But using what? Water? Solar power? No gas and oil. The same. So we will still have at least 20 years ahead all the possibilities to be a very powerful country with all these resources and in the future also water resources which are anonymous in Russia and Timber etc. Without life is not possible even in digital era. Well, so of course for Russia to be a minor partner for China is not the case. But on the other hand combination of these two powers may be more strong than combination of United States and Europe. And possibilities of Russian diplomatic skill and Chinese economic skill such combination will be quite powerful. Means in international relations and I think that using this power Russia and China may reorganize also well international politics and international law. When we talked yesterday about international law that someone did something not recording international. Where is international law? It doesn't exist anymore. It's just on paper. Because it was so many times violated then it is difficult to say who is now following international law and even win convention on diplomatic relations as we saw how Russian council general was treated in United States. Show that even such international regulations and rules are not respected. So I think that Russia and China should call some kind of conference international calls and say let's get together and let's formulate new rules international law. Because what is international? It's not what Moses received from above. No, it's people created this international law and it was adopted and respected but not respected anymore. And what is the difference between Kosovo and Crimea? Now we debate it yesterday but it's clearly that you can treat international law in your own interest and to explain everything. But what is non-interference in internal affairs? So I think that for Russia and China if both countries would like to be the leaders of the world so it will be a chance to create a new international order using new international law. So it's a place for Russia to do also leading role in such process. Well I don't want to be long because... We still have Q&A so if you can wrap it up and we'll start questions and answers. But just summing up I would like to say that the future is very bright, very shining but the road to this future is very difficult and painful. Thank you.
