An online broadcast of the Russian President Dmitry Medvedev’s speech at the conference “Euro-Atlantic Security Community: Myth or Reality?” organized by the Russian International Affairs Council, starts on March 23, at 1:00 p.m. Moscow time (09:00 GMT).
The motto of the conference is “from political declarations to concrete actions.” Prominent Russian politicians, scholars, experts and public figures will be discussing the steps to be taken in humanitarian, economic and military spheres with a view to overcoming distrust and other “cold war” residues and embarking on building a single, integrated Euro-Atlantic security system that will allow to effectively meet the 21st century threats and challenges and successfully grapple with the attainment of development goals. Over 200 participants are expected to attend the event.
Among the major goals of the Russian International Affairs Council (RIAC), which was established by presidential decree in February 2010, are training specialists in international affairs and assisting joint projects between Russian and foreign international affairs think tanks.
