“Our main challenge is how to operate and grow in globalizing world, how to create favorable conditions for every country’s economy, including Russia to welcome foreign investments, improve its investment climate, protect the investor’s right whilst marinating uniqueness,” Dimitry Afanasiev said.

“We are going to carefully analyze how the legal community of former Soviet Union states should react to globalization, face it and contribute to development of the law business,” he said.

Dwelling on differences in the CIS countries’ legal field, Afanasiev said, “Our countries have much in common as they were all born out of a single state.”

The event, co-organized by Ameria CJSC, has brought together over 150 participants from 50 countries.
