Belarus and Russia compare diplomatic guidelines IV International Scientific Expert Forum named after A. A. Gromyko takes place at the Belarusian-Russian University in Mogilev. Political scientists, historians and diplomats discuss international security, integration in the European space, the legacy of Soviet diplomacy and the preservation of historical memory. BRU rector Mikhail Lustankov emphasized that it was not by chance that the university became a platform for such a meeting. "The topic of the forum is... "Belarus and Russia: Strategic Partnership in an Age of Global Change". And who, if not our university, should participate in the discussion of these issues? " he said. The forum is attended by representatives of Belarus, Russia, Armenia and Tajikistan. The director of the Institute for Europe of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexei Gromyko, the grandson of the Soviet diplomat Andrei Gromyko, recalled the value of personal communication: "Of course it can be done remotely, but a banal thing - personal human communication - cannot replace anything."
