Moscow, September 20–21, 2025

The First World Public Assembly (WPA) is set to take place at the Moscow World Trade Center, bringing together more than 4,000 participants from over 150 countries. Timed to coincide with the International Day of Peace, the Assembly will serve as a major humanitarian forum dedicated to building a just, sustainable, and harmonious global future.

The forum will host a diverse community of global leaders, including ministers, scientists, cosmonauts, public diplomats, business leaders, and spiritual figures. Among the distinguished guests will be descendants of historical figures, heads of international organizations, and city mayors, making the event one of the most significant global gatherings of 2025.

Andrey Belyaninov, Secretary General of the World Peoples Assembly, emphasized:
