On March 26, 2025, the Ambassador of the State of Israel to the Russian Federation, Her Excellency Mrs. Simone Halperin, as a sign of respect for the traditions of the holy month of Ramadan, invited the Ambassadors of different states to a solemn Iftar. Among the invited guests were the Ambassadors of Singapore, Canada, Kazakhstan and others, as well as official representatives of different religions, public figures, representatives of culture and science. During the conversation, key issues in the fields of economy, culture, and education were discussed. Many states now prioritize innovative technologies in various fields. Olga Afanasyeva announced projects in the field of space exploration. She noted that the development of space exploration includes not only the launch of rockets and satellites. These are many important issues related to the preservation of the natural and climatic balance of the planet, issues of environmental problems and environmental monitoring. But perhaps the most important thing is the space inside a person. What is a person, his ideas, dreams, ways of realizing his plans, interpersonal diplomatic communication among representatives of different religions. The participants stressed the importance of strengthening international relations and outlined promising areas for joint projects. One of these projects is the Space – Territory of Peaceful Diplomacy diplomatic event in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the docking of the Soyuz and Apollo spacecraft, as a symbol of the handshake in space during the Cold War. Astronauts often say that without a peaceful existence, one can die. For them, a small planet is the International Space Station (ISS), and for all people, our planet is a spaceship, which is very fragile compared to the universal phenomena that greatly affect our lives. The meeting was held in a friendly atmosphere, confirming mutual interest in developing partnership relations. Diplomatic dialogue with representatives of different countries opens up new opportunities for everyone. We are grateful to Her Excellency Ambassador Simone Halperin for the constructive conversation and plan further cooperation.
