Extension of cooperation, elaboration of common actions aimed at more effective cooperation is one of the targets that forum participants face trying to find new areas of common interest during the dispute.

Discussions in the frame of the Business Council Panel Session were united by common topic highlighting “Modern aspects of economic cooperation” aimed at revealing the ways of how to increase the efficiency of cooperation between common states. The Panel Session was attended by representative of industrial and commercial chambers from both countries, business leaders and authorities.
