Participants included key government officials, scholars, & journalists familiar with the situation in Russia. There was strong support for the current direction of Russian foreign policy & agreement that Russia is experiencing steady growth & raising its profile in international politics. However, there was also awareness of conflicts within Russian society over the economy, civil rights, & the arrogance of power. Special attention was given to the importance of the continuing dialogue between Russia & the US; Russia's relationship & cooperation with the European Union; & prospects for the future of the Commonwealth of Independent States which turned 16 in 2007.
