Alexey Sergeev: "We follow closely the events at the Forum"

18 years ago SPIEF met for the first time in the Tavricheskiy Palace. That was the initiative of the IPA CIS and the Federation Council. The initiative was approved by the members of the Commonwealth. We are screening the outcomes of the Forum for the purpose of our law-making. The agenda of the Forum may inform us on emerging issues, he said. He also noted a broad consensus among the participants of the roundtable THE CIS: MODERN REALITY AND THE CHALLENGES OF SUSTAINED DEVELOPMENT that the CIS was an organization with potential to run for many years ahead.
