PANEL #1: Ministerial Panel – Regional Security

Almost two years into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the region proved its resilience. However, the prospect of a long war poses significant challenges as it greatly compounds a number of preexisting adverse global economic trends, including rising inflation and deglobalization. The questions linked to mitigating supply chain disruptions and economic distress as well as ensuring security of supply seem to have one common answer to start with: more dialogue and collaboration between friends.
