The “Borders of the Union State” Forum on Russia and Belarus Security and Cooperation, which was held in Svetlogorsk, Kaliningrad region, brought together about 200 representatives of government authorities, academic institutions and business community of both countries.
Roman Travin, the Head of the “Open Analytics” project, a senior lecturer of the Department of International Relations, Foreign Regional Studies and Political Science participated in the forum.
The forum participants covered global challenges common to Russia and Belarus, the prospects and risks of the global order transformation, the issues related to scientific and technological development of both countries, development of civil society and security in the Union State.
“In the current circumstances, when the Republic of Belarus has proved to be a reliable and crucial ally of Russia, such a representative joint event is of great symbolic and practical importance. I would like to note that the speeches even during the open part of the event were quite critical, not to mention the behind-the-scenes formats. Many interesting ideas and certain proposals were introduced. A number of bilateral cooperation agreements were signed”, commented Roman Travin.
Roman Travin attended the signing of the agreement between the Russian Association of Political Science and “Znanie” Belarusian Society and noted the importance of such interaction between public organizations that serve popularizing knowledge.
