... security of Greater Eurasia, in terms of freedom from the likelihood of external destabilising influence? Second, what can be the contribution of our friendly neighbours - China and Iran – do to increase stability and dynamic development in the centre of Eurasia? And finally, can cooperation between Russia and the Central Asian countries already now serve as the framework for a common regional security system that will not be directed against other regions?

... watching it closely due to the agenda and discussion points.
In conclusion, the BRICS can follow whatever path it chooses. However, it must be cautious and try to avoid an alliance mentality and Western mistakes. For example, many experts believe that Russia’s suspension from the G-8 in 2014 sharpened the divide between the Global South and North. It also intensified the crisis in the Eurasia region. Second, if the BRICS decides on an alternative currency, then the currency must not be the national currency of any member country. The world has already been facing the worst consequences of such a decision.
Lastly, it should create linkages ...
... organisational and legal infrastructure for more systematic security, economic development and financial relations.
The Russia-India-China (RIC) format of interaction that has existed since 2002 is extremely important today, as it unites the three leading Eurasian powers by various parameters: Russia is the largest nuclear power, China is the largest economy, and India is the largest country in terms of population. If the three states can reach an agreement, it will be a significant step towards Eurasian unity. More active work is now underway ...
The core of the new system is going to emerge in Eurasia, which remains not only the most populous, but also the most dynamic and economically potent continent of our planet

... more than significant role, courtesy of its favorable geographical location. The attempts to impose customs restrictions on the border with Belarus, made by European nations, have also taken a toll.
Against this background, the transit countries of Eurasia, which previously used the Russian corridor as an optimal route to the world markets, are now forced to look for alternative ways of trading with the West. This leads to revitalization of contacts between the transit countries within the framework of already existing projects, ...
... important way of connecting with those markets from which the West seeks to alienate it.
These countries operate under market economic principles and so far depend little on external political factors. We see that feeble attempts to force the countries of Eurasia to reconsider their economic relations with Russia face obstacles that are not necessarily of a formal nature. This does not mean that relations between the economies of Greater Eurasia are immune to external shocks. But so far, they demonstrate a high degree of flexibility and adaptability to ...
... Turkey itself, whose domestic political and economic future is not completely certain. The threat from America’s Eastern European allies is not a product of their own capabilities, but of the use of these territories as a base for American policy in Eurasia.
Summing up, we can say that while in the case of Ukraine and perhaps even the Baltic states, Russia is dealing with a consolidated adversary whose intentions towards us are determined by strategic circumstances, in the rest of the periphery the situation is not similar, even theoretically. Nowhere in neighbouring Eurasia do we run the risk of ...
... Asian countries over the past 10 years. Relations between Moscow and Beijing are of a strategic nature, they are united by a common vision of a just international order, in which there will be no place for the dominance of a narrow group of states. Russia and China are jointly responsible for the stability of a huge part of Eurasia.
Bilateral trade and economic relations are developing with the understanding that at some point Russia and China will indeed have to complement each other; as Chinese authors put it, “stand back to back” and jointly resist the attempts of ...
