Russia–Baltic States: Pathways to Trust and a Beneficial Partnership

06 Jun , 11:00–12:15
Business Dialogue
Pavilion G, conference hall G7

There is a great deal of potential for cooperation between Russia and the Baltic states; however, trust is currently at an insufficient level. Can the situation be turned around? What can be done to find a constructive and mutually beneficial solution to current problems? The answer is likely to be found in the economic arena. Dialogue on matters concerning transit, tourism, and ties between border areas and wider regions can provide an initial benchmark. This can then be supplemented with discussions on agriculture, energy, and other topics.
