Russian President Vladimir Putin celebrates his birthday

The head of state turns 72

On October 7, Russian President Vladimir Putin celebrates his birthday.

President of the People’s Republic of China Xi Jinping also extended his congratulations to the Head of State. President of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko, was among the first world leaders to congratulate the Russian head of state. He noted that the republic highly appreciates Putin's principled attitude to further development of the Belarusian-Russian relations of union and strategic partnership.

"I am confident that together we will be able to open new horizons and outline promising areas of cooperation that meet modern challenges and ensure the expansion of multifaceted ties between our countries," reports BelTA, a partner of TV BRICS.

In addition, Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega and Vice President of the Central American country Rosario Murillo sent a birthday message to Putin. They wished the Russian leader and the people of Russia well wishes. The leaders of Bolivia and Cuba, Luis Arce and Miguel Diaz-Canel, in turn, expressed their best wishes on social networks.

King Hamad Bin Isa Al Khalifa sent a telegram to Putin, wishing the people of Russia prosperity. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also congratulated the head of state on his birthday during a telephone conversation.

The politician was born in 1952 in Leningrad (the name of Saint Petersburg from 1924 to 1991). After graduating from the Faculty of Law of Leningrad State University (LSU) in 1975, Putin joined the Committee for State Security (KGB).

From 1991 to 1996, he worked in the St. Petersburg Mayor's Office, and then he moved to the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation, where he held various positions until his appointment as Director of the Federal Security Service (FSB) in 1998.

In 2000, he won the early presidential election. Vladimir Putin was re-elected as head of state in 2004, 2012, 2018, and 2024. From 2008 to 2012, he served as Prime Minister.

During the period of his presidency, Russia hosted major international events, including the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi and the 2018 FIFA World Cup. The St. Petersburg Forums (SPIEF) and Eastern Economic Forums are held regularly. Additionally, the Russian Federation participated in the creation of organisations such as BRICS, SCO, and EAEU.

Prabowo Subianto

President of Indonesia

"This roadmap sets the framework for our joint efforts. Indonesia and Belarus have great potential for expanding cooperation in various fields. Our cooperation will focus on industrial development and agricultural modernisation. In industry, we see a major opportunity to increase trade volumes, investment, and cooperation between our two countries. We are also pushing for closer collaboration in culture and human resource development"

Liao Fan

Director of the Institute of World Economics and Politics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS)

"We also encourage countries of the Global South to work together and contribute to the global economy. We also call on developed countries to set aside issues such as national security and strategic competition when we are discussing real global challenges – pressing issues such as public health or poverty reduction – so that development resources can be channelled truly effectively to those countries that need them. [...] Major powers and large countries must bear greater responsibility for the well-being of people around the world. This is the responsibility of the major powers"

Anutin Charnvirakul

Prime Minister of Thailand

"Russia has been a trusted friend of Thailand for over a century. […] Next year, we will mark the 130th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries. We will commemorate this important milestone with high-level exchanges, thereby reaffirming our shared commitment to an even stronger partnership for the benefit of our peoples"

Ferdinand Marcos

President of the Republic of the Philippines

"First, peace, security and stability. [...] We need our joint efforts to contribute to peace and security and to respond promptly to all threats. Second, a more dynamic economic partnership. Our areas of cooperation in trade are developing. We need to act more ambitiously and decisively in order to facilitate trade, economic flows and the expansion of the business community. [...] And third, perhaps one of the most important areas, is our peoples, grants, student exchanges, academic partnerships and tourism. [...] The relationships that are being built between our countries are reflected in the summit declaration, and they provide what policy alone cannot achieve"

Anwar Ibrahim

Prime Minister of Malaysia

"The relations in the last few years have been remarkable. We have seen impressive development, and my visit was – you were fantastic. We see the enormous role that Russia can play not only in Malaysia but also in the developing world, ASEAN and the rest. We are exploring this halal economy and finance. We are now almost finishing the visa abolition arrangement. [...] And then you have also agreed to these flights for tourism, for trade, and connectivity between Malaysia, Moscow, Kazan, and other cities in Russia"
