A new season of Meeting Russia Program
Meeting Russia seeks to facilitate dialogue between rising leaders interested in Russia and contribute to the discussion about Russia–West relations.
Meeting Russia is a unique independently-run public diplomacy program for young leaders. The program brings together young representatives of academia, governmental institutions, parliaments, think-tanks, media and private sector from the US and European countries, as well as Russia.
The three-day program held in Moscow focuses on Russia's foreign policy and its relations with the West. Through meetings with senior Russian officials, top experts and exchange of ideas with their peers, participants have great opportunity to address critical issues related to Russia's role in world affairs and to connect with a diverse professional community.
