Abstract

The ASEM Forum has been the only platform to promote cooperation in the entire Eurasia for the last 20 years. Linking this experience to the current Eurasian bid for becoming a global center of gravity can stimulate cooperative trends in relations between the global actors and the establishment of a stable and balanced global security system. A significant contribution to that might be made by the Russian Federation, all the more so since Russia and ASEM are gaining increasingly higher ranks in each other’s priorities.

Keywords
