russia has central asia, how to implement it?depends, first of all, by the way, speaking about russian politics, because central asia, uh, the peoples are used to be receptive and respond, but, for this , some proposals and impulses are needed, therefore, as they say, the ball has gone on our side, the discussion of where to send this ball for the most effective cooperation between russia and central asia and neighboring countries, experts will devote the second day of central asian conference.

and this, of course, has a beneficial effect on the whole of central asia and, on the other hand, central asia itself. well, like, that's a big contribution. here in this development, uh, russian-chinese russian central asian, and relations in the sense that it is such a point of stability, and a point of predictability, and a point of understanding. how to offer these formats here relationships the central asian conference in ld is essentially a litmus test that reflects the most important thing to understand. in modern conflicts with the west, russia continues to maintain competence and confidence, uniting its key and historical partners around itself. varvara nevskaya mikhail vikulin and alexander sidorov vesti, nizhny novgorod in kaliningrad, a many-hour concert for the navy took place; it became part of a large-scale all-russian tour that began in sevastopol on the same stage, local artists and russian stars. also, viewers could write a letter to a fighter participating in a special military operation to protect the donbass and visit the exhibition of equipment, weapons equipment, it

need for expert discussion and, most importantly, the search for answers to new challenges for central asiaina and india, the second central asian conference of the international debating club is now incredibly high. valdai is about 40 experts from nine countries of the world, in addition to russia - this is kazakhstan tajikistan uzbekistan kyrgyzstan pakistan india and china, despite this impressive list, it can be resolutely stated that the rumors about the global isolation of russia, to put it mildly, are slightly exaggerated . a link between europe and asia the most important world trade center from historical times to the present day the city is one of the three most attractive for labor migrants from central asia and commodity turnover between the republics and the nizhny novgorod region is increasing every year, if the european cooperation is the european order, e relations it. uh, now uh, has changed dramatically and and such cooperation is becoming for us. uh, if not inaccessible, in general, then very limited, as for asia, on the contrary, it seems to me that uh, uh, the direction

so, i mean, it's views whether it is in central asia or in the now. so part of your greatest concern, i had hopes that present zelinski when it came to power would understand the logic that was there in big toyota. which in my view, big day article which ansolaski, are you kidding patriots of young gorge. understood that you need stable relations with russia for a stable your brain. now unfortunately, if you regard russia as an enemy for the next 100 years, then obviously you need to grade which is completely the nato. and that is exactly where they're actually not taking this. and again, if i may say so this is the point i really did not expect prison zelinski to really make this kind of mistake in going by federal forest and go and various others, especially because is jewish, the jewish community. and i've said this multiple times, i mean there, the last tribal, they look community that an extremely admirable community, either way expected this from him. but he will pursue a part of these ukrainian zealots who want to believe that your gradients ar

interaction and priorities, the general story deep cultural connection, humanitarian projects make central asia privileged partner for russia, such an exhaustive assessment was given by the deputy head of the russian ministry of foreign affairs andrey rudenko, but to the already mentioned second central asian conference of the valdai club, in order not to be unfounded, specific figures today in russia on a permanent basis are more than 4 million citizens . countries of central asia, 160,000 students from the countries of the region annually receive higher education in russia, and 60,000 at the expense of the russian budget. our country in turn is the largest investor in the countries of central asia, the volume of accumulated investments from 2010 to 2021 amounted to more than 30 billion dollars , and trade with state regions is also growing. last year. it reached $37 billion. what other events do you remember, the outgoing week briefly about other news in kazakhstan on may 23, the acceptance of documents for the international balash program starts, when it makes it possible to receive a schola

of accumulated russian investments is increasing, the number of joint ventures with russia in central asia lavrov notes, is already more than 10. and all of them of course, almost a million jobs are being created at the moment. another important area of ​​educational cooperation is the branches of the largest domestic universities and russian-language schools operating in the region, which prepare local youth to enter universities directly in russia. in addition, sergey lavrov touches on the invariably relevant on the topic of collective security, we draw attention to regular consultations on issues of countering terrorism, as well as to medium and long-term programs of military-technical support for the latter is expressed, for example, in the way russia is helping kyrgyzstan and tajikistan to modernize their armed forces. chapter. mida notes that even greater unity has been achieved by joining forces in the fight against coronavirus. russia responded to the requests of friends for the supply of the vaccine, and kuevsky shared production technologies. all these are different aspects of eq

but love an interest in this blazing russia from central asia in this blazing india from central asia. i didn't do anything to prevent this attempt of color with what prison warden acted. he acted and bellows yet in kazakhstan. why? because central asia is also a key element, it's a key element in our security and what's your security? so he's off to what's happening in metal, the expansion of nato, saying thus far and no further present now. but i think it's important to our highlight that while russia, as you said it in many of its neighboring countries to provide security, it's not trying to question the sovereignty of those countries. and till this day, i haven't heard officials in russia questioning whether ukraine should remain sober and say, everything they talk about is maintaining such a post. you're such a military poster that would not be threatening to russia other than that. those people ask me to pursue their own said the way they see, well, you're 50, right? and i can say that i have not said that that prison booting and, and the russian government is imposing any of it

because central asia is also key element. it's a key element in our security. and what's your security? so he's off to what's happening in mitchell, the expansion of nato, saying thus far and no further have at present. now that i think it's important to a highlight that while russia, as you said it in many of its neighboring countries to provide security, it's not trying to question the sovereignty of those countries. and till this day, i haven't heard officials in russia questioning whether ukraine should remain sober and say everything the talk about is maintaining such a post. you're such a military poster that would not be threatening to russia other than that. those people ask me to pursue their own said the way they see, well, you're 50, right? and i can say that i have not said that right, that president putin and, and the russian government is imposing any of it. so, i mean, it's views whether it is in central asia or not. so what is your greatest concern? i had hopes that present zelinski when it came to power would understand the logic that was there
