May 18 – 21, the Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University named after B.N. Yeltsin (KRSU) hasted the International Conference "New Migration in Eurasia: Consequences for Integration Processes".
The participants of the large-scale forum - representatives of scientific communities from Russia, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan - discussed the theoretical and applied aspects of the interdisciplinary study of the consequences for the integration processes in the Eurasian space due to the emergence of new migration flows, and also designed new models of cooperation.
The International Union of Non-Governmental Organizations "The Eurasian Peoples' Assembly" was represented by Svetlana Smirnova, First Deputy Secretary General - Head of the General Secretariat of the Eurasian Peoples' Assembly. She noted the increased diplomatic role of non-governmental organizations in interethnic processes.
“At various levels, the increased diplomatic role of non-governmental organizations is being declared today. Using the mechanisms of multifaceted cooperation, non-governmental organizations contribute to the success of foreign policy actions of governments in strengthening trust, harmony and mutual understanding. From the trust of people to the trust of economies is one of the important messages of our international organization, which I represent today. And both postulates serve our common goal - to design new models of cooperation,” said the First Deputy Secretary General of the Eurasian Peoples’ Assembly.
She drew attention to the changing trends in the global expert community when assessing state policy in the field of migration. She also noted the increased interest in discussing the impact of migration on integration processes in different countries.
“Mechanisms for regulating migration processes, including in the legislative sphere, are being radically transformed. Our organization has a huge list of partners in different countries, and together it is much more productive to discuss the topic of the possible impact of migration on integration processes,” said Svetlana Smirnova.
The forum was organized by the Institute for Demographic Research of the Federal Research Sociological Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Scientific Council "Socio-Political and Demographic Problems of the Formation of the Eurasian Economic Union" at the Department of Social Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University named after B.N.
