MGIMO representatives and I. Amedi discussed the situation in the Middle East, including the prospects for restoring, under the new US administration, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on the Iranian nuclear program, as well as various ways of solving regional problems.
The sides agreed that under the current circumstances, an expert dialogue with the participation of representatives of the Middle East would be not only useful, but could even be considered necessary. The participants in the meeting agreed to further expand their collaboration by holding expert discussion sessions, including on campus at MGIMO.
