At a conference on maritime safety, Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed the creation of a special structure within the UN to deal with maritime crime.
“In our view, it would be useful to regularly exchange best practices and anti-piracy practices,” Putin said, adding that a special structure could be considered within the UN in this context.
According to Putin, this structure would rely on the support of UN member states and attract experts and private companies to see their work.
Putin expressed the hope that this issue would be actively considered.
