EU–US–Russia relations: moving from a solid foundation into the challenges of the 2010s | ||
in European View , vol. 9, n. 2, December , 2010 , 211-217 | ||
Changes in the structure of international politics only continue in the 2010s. The EU and US are vital partners for Russia’s modernisation, and we must view Russia’s aim to modernise its economy as a good starting point for increased economic cooperation. In strengthening this partnership, we do not have to start from scratch. Our societies have become more similar, thanks to the progress in Russia’s economy. The existing ties between our countries and societies are a strong foundation for working together. Building on this momentum, we need to take concrete action to promote the movement of people and lower the barriers between our economies. | ||
