From Tuesday, May 16 through Thursday, May 18 2006, in the Hart Senate Office Building and the American
Capitol, The Eurasia Center and its Eurasian Business Coalition worked closely with the annual World Russian Forum.
Established in 1991, the international forum has continued to offer a challenging agenda featuring new proposals for
Russian-American business, science, security, educational, technology, and cultural cooperation. The speakers addressed current developments in bilateral relations, the world-wide war on terrorism, and democratic reforms.
Conference attendees to the Forum were key Russian leaders of: the National Duma; Office of His Excellency
Vladimir Putin, President, the Russian Federation; Regional governors and their staffs; researchers of high technology,
medical, and science research laboratories; bankers; managers of numerous energy production, natural resources
processing, and manufacturing concerns; representatives of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) working on the
issues of democracy, transparent governance, and humanitarian development; along with reporters from major Russian
media outlets.
The World Russian Forum has become the premier catalyst for open discussions and relationship building between Russia, America, and opinion makers of other European and Asian nations. Participants in the 2006 World Russian Forum were able to speak with members of the American Senate and House of Representatives along with officials of numerous American governmental agencies including the Departments of Commerce, State, Homeland Security, Defense, and International Trade. Other beneficial relationships were initiated with American, Russian, and Eurasian leaders representing investment, banking, high technology, energy production, economic development, and humanitarian organizations.
