Dave Restrapo, one of our Press Secretaries, visted the conference involving Ian Kelly head of Russian Affairs at the U.S State Department and the Loudenians for Freedom and Democracy.
Since the expert was from the Department of State the issues discussed were from a U.S perspective, it was not too relevent to the affairs of Laudenia.
The Major issues discussed were:
- the obstacles Russia must overcome to join the WTO
- More foreign investment in russian oil and natural gas is needed in order for it to become a stable source of these invaluable resources
- Russia is a proud nation but needs help to develop infrastructure
- Hostile to nato
Yet again not much was said regarding the European Union and the relationship between the Union and our most powerful neighbour. Nothing was said about the trade relationship between Russia and the EU.
