The Eurasian Media Forum is the most prominent international media initiative in Eurasia aimed at defining the strategic role of Eurasia in world affairs, exploring a new approach to international relations, promoting equality of access to reliable public information throughout the area and encouraging the highest standards of journalism.
Peter Preston, Chairman of the British executive of the International Press Institute, United Kingdom
I have been a committed advocate of press freedom since I became a journalist. It is the best guarantee of honest, democratic government - and so the best hope for countries wishing to offer their people a better life. I know the difficulties which confront Central Asia. This conference gives us all a chance to see how they can be overcome.
