WORLD RUSSIAN FORUM--2002
First Announcement
You are invited to participate in the annual World Russian Forum to be held April 28 - 30 in Washington, DC. The main goal of this Forum is to discuss and generate new ideas for the US - Russia Alliance.
Recently 142 Members of Congress led by Congressman Curt Weldon presented a document "New Time, New Beginning" which proposed to take a fundamentally new look at US-Russian relations and establish an authentic
partnership that would meet the common interests of both countries. The document outlines a very broad agenda for cooperation in many areas including business, finance, military, science, education, culture, etc.
The Forum attendants will have a chance to respond to this initiative and present their proposals for cooperation as well as establish networking connections and participate in the discussions led by the world's leading experts.
