From April 21 to 25, 2025, the International Diplomatic Forum \u201cEconomic Cooperation in the Eurasian Space: Synergy and Balance of Interests\u201d was held in Yekaterinburg as part of the Eurasian Economic Youth Forum (EEYF). One of the central themes of the forum was the concept of a multipolar world built on the principles of equitable cooperation and mutual respect for national interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The forum brought together representatives from more than 20 countries, including ambassadors, consuls, government officials, and diplomats. For the first time in the forum\u2019s history, it welcomed the participation of the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Sudan, Mr. Mohamed Elgazali Eltijani Sirrag<\/strong>, and the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Sierra Leone, Mr. Mohamed Yongawo<\/strong>. Their presence underscored the strengthening dialogue between Africa and Eurasia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInternational cooperation holds great potential, but each country has different interests. Cooperation must benefit all parties. Eurasia and Africa make up 75% of the Earth and possess immense resources. What is needed is political will and equal relations. We thank Russia for its support,\u201d said the Sudanese ambassador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key message of the forum was the importance of “equal dialogue”<\/strong> \u2014 not only as a political principle but as the foundation for economic, scientific, and technological cooperation. Speakers also highlighted the urgent need to reform international institutions \u2014 most notably the United Nations, which celebrates its 80th anniversary in 2025, the date concise with the 80th anniversary of the ending of the World War II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe must move beyond colonial legacies to achieve better outcomes for Africa. While Africa faces economic challenges, it holds enormous natural wealth. Many African nations would welcome the opportunity to join BRICS,\u201d said the Ambassador of Sierra Leone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The forum covered a wide range of topics including global economic challenges, the activities of BRICS and the SCO, technological transformation, the role of artificial intelligence, and the empowerment of youth in shaping the global future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This forum was part of the wider EEYF program, which gathered over 21,000 participants from 115 countries<\/strong>. As noted by Rector of USUE Yakov Silin<\/strong>, the event\u2019s scale extended beyond Yekaterinburg, with sessions held across 14 cities in Russia and abroad \u2014 including Baku, Minsk, Astana, Dushanbe, Belgrade, St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad, Colombo, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Deputy Governor of Sverdlovsk Region, Alexey Shmykov<\/strong>, emphasized during the opening ceremony:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is symbolic that the tradition of hosting the EEYF was born here, in Yekaterinburg \u2014 one of Russia\u2019s leading international business hubs. For 15 years, the forum has been a magnet for progressive youth. Sverdlovsk Region remains open to new ideas and is committed to initiatives that strengthen economic cooperation between our region and countries worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The forum also featured a plenary session focused on youth entrepreneurship and global economic development, as well as the Rectors’ Forum<\/strong>, which brought together nearly 90 university leaders from different countries to discuss joint scientific and educational initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The International Diplomatic Forum in Yekaterinburg demonstrated that a new global architecture is impossible without the partnership of Africa and Eurasia \u2014 and without a shared commitment to balance, synergy, and sustainable development.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
