Participation Confirmation for Dr. Asatiani Jumber EU Defense Washington Forum Dates: Monday, June 28, 2021, 9:00am - Tuesday, June 29, 2021, 12:30pm Location: On-line ---------------------------------------------------------- The Minister of Foreign Affairs of RF S. Lavrov suggested in May 2021, that "EU colleagues seriously consider the pluses they can receive from the fundamentally new model of cooperation that implies the synergy of national development strategies and multilateral economic undertakings, and the most effective use of the relative advantages of our location in an enormous Eurasia that is the driver of growth for the entire global economy". The parties might start with little things, such as stable cooperation between the EAEU and the EU, something that has been long urged by Russia from European partners to consider. Today’s realities are incompatible with the logic of hegemonism and domination and recreating "a cordon sanitaire" and "an iron curtain". It is well known that many Europeans realize that a course of confrontation towards Russia is counterproductive. Let us hope that common sense will eventually prevail and that we will be able to start working on a new, balanced model of relations with reliance on the principles of international law. Russia is always open to equitable, and, once again, honest cooperation.
