8th Eastern Economic Forum 2023 the panel session
Russia : Within the 8th Eastern Economic Forum 2023 the panel session “Biosecurity Sovereignty: Fighting Together or Every Man for Himself?” was held. Andrey Rudenko, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, participated and made remarks at the session.
Synopsis: Biosecurity risks are evolving rapidly. Factors such as globalization, economic integration, and the development of synthetic biology and genetic engineering are largely shaping modern epidemic processes.
In the current conditions of increased biological threats, it is crucial to have the capabilities required to independently manage the risks posed by epidemics. The countries of the Asia-Pacific region not only have the necessary capacity to manage such risks, but are also actively implementing it, as they rapidly and effectively develop science and technology to combat infectious threats. Russia shares the desire of Asia-Pacific states to build a modern system to counter biological threats.
