Grigoriy Rapota

General Secretary, Eurasian Economic Community Russia

Dear friends,
This is another year the Eurasian Media Forum brings together journalists, political scientists, academics, and public figures, those who really care and contribute on a daily basis to shaping common Eurasian media market which is one of the most significant prerequisites to accomplishing the goal set by five member states of the Eurasian Economic Community namely creating a common economic and cultural community.
It is remarkable that the title of our organisation has something in common with the title of the media forum. The media play a significant role in accelerating integration of the member states of the Eurasian Economic Community namely Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan. I hope that the Eurasian Media Forum will give another push to information and cultural cooperation between Eurasian countries by establishing friendly and partner’s contacts, and creative and business connections.

I wish you all success.
