Deputy Chairman of the Council of the Republic Sergei Khomenko and Chairman of the Standing Committee on International Affairs and National Security of the Council of the Republic Sergei Aleinik are taking part in the UN Summit of the Future on 22-23 September. The summit is a high-level event where world leaders gather to forge a new international consensus on how to achieve a better present and safeguard the future. Effective global cooperation is increasingly important to our survival, but it is difficult to achieve in a climate of mistrust and using outdated structures that no longer reflect contemporary political and economic realities. This once-in-a-generation event is an opportunity to demonstrate that international cooperation can effectively achieve agreed goals, overcome emerging threats and seize opportunities.
