We report on President Putin’s meetings with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, India’s Narendra Modi, Turkiye’s Recep Erdogan, Iran’s Masoud Pezeshkian and Mongolia’s Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh. In addition, we provide reports on what happened at the G20 Finance Ministers meeting in the United States, The Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation’s Summit in Bishkek and the Russia-China Cooperation Forum in Kazan. We also carry important reviews of Russia’s Arctic development policy, Russia-China cross-border infrastructure development, and a review of Russia’s trade and development data for the year to date. Plus discussions with the Brazilian Foreign Minister and the latest in Belarusian trade. Russia’s economy is not collapsing. As our reports indicate, the reality is the exact reverse.
