China and the United States should return to a path of dialogue and win-win cooperation and shoulder their shared responsibility as major powers to serve as anchors for global peace and prosperity, Chinese officials and international experts said on Tuesday.中国官员和国际专家周二表示，中美两国应重回对话合作、合作共赢之路，共同承担大国责任，成为世界和平与繁荣的稳定器。Liu Jianchao, head of the International Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said the world is closely watching China-US relations because of their significance to each other and to humanity at large.中共中央对外联络部部长刘建超表示，中美关系对彼此乃至全人类都至关重要，世界各国都密切关注。"It is our consistent view that China and the US must live in peace. Conflict and confrontation are not our options," Liu said at the opening ceremony of the Fourth Wanshou Dialogue on Global Security in Beijing. "We hope that the US side will join us in pursuing dialogue, partnership and win-win cooperation instead of confrontation, alliances and zero-sum games."刘建超在北京举行的第四届万寿国际安全研讨会开幕式上表示：“我们始终认为，中美必须和平相处，冲突对抗不是我们的选择。我们希望美方与我们一道，致力于对话、伙伴关系、合作共赢，而不是对抗、结盟和零和博弈。”The two-day forum, themed "Universal Security in a Turbulent World: The Responsibility of Major Countries", brought together officials, scholars and experts from across the globe to explore how the international community can reduce tensions and conflictsand build a more peaceful and prosperous world.�为期两天的论坛主题为“动荡世界中的普遍安全：大国的责任”，来自世界各地的官员、学者和专家齐聚一堂，共同探讨国际社会如何减少紧张与冲突，建设一个更加和平与繁荣的世界。Liu's remarks followed a high-level China-US economic and trade meeting concluded on Sunday in Geneva, Switzerland, which he said produced some positive outcomes.刘建超是在周日于瑞士日内瓦结束的中美经贸高级别会谈之后发表上述讲话的。他表示，此次会谈取得了一些积极成果。"We hope that the United States will build on this meeting, continue to work with China in the same direction, fully rectify its wrong practice of unilateral tariff hikes, keep strengthening mutually beneficial cooperation, uphold the sound, stable and sustainable development of China-US economic and trade relations, and jointly inject more certainty and stability into the world economy," he said.“我们希望美方在此次会议基础上，继续与中方相向而行，彻底纠正单边加征关税的错误做法，不断加强互利合作，维护中美经贸关系健康、稳定、可持续发展，共同为世界经济注入更多确定性和稳定性。”Liu also reiterated China's commitment to being a constructive force for peace, stability and progress, and said the country will continue to promote open and inclusive economic globalization and pursue common development for all countries.刘建超还重申，中国致力于做和平、稳定、进步的建设性力量，并表示中国将继续推动开放包容的经济全球化，实现各国共同发展。Participants at the forum criticized Washington's use of tariffs, investment barriers and trade restrictions as tools to pressure other countries, and voiced concerns that the world's two largest economies risk drifting further into confrontation.�论坛与会者批评美方利用关税、投资壁垒和贸易限制作为向其他国家施压的工具，并表示担心世界两大经济体可能进一步陷入对抗。 Douglas Bandow, a special assistant to former US president Ronald Reagan and a senior research fellow at the Cato Institute, said the United States and China bear a disproportionate responsibility to act not only in their own interests, but also for the benefit of the wider world.美国前总统罗纳德·里根的特别助理、卡托研究所高级研究员道格拉斯·班多表示，美国和中国肩负着不成比例的责任，不仅要为自身利益采取行动，也要为更广阔的世界利益采取行动。 "Our governments and peoples must find our way to work through present difficulties and disputes into a better, more prosperous and peaceful future," Bandow said. "Disagreements are sure to remain. Nevertheless, our peoples must remain in communion with one another, and our governments must pursue dialogues and policies which preserve communication, allow compromise, promote conciliation and encourage cooperation."“我们的政府和人民必须找到解决当前困难和争端的方法，迈向更美好、更繁荣、更和平的未来，”班多说。“分歧肯定会存在。然而，我们的人民必须保持相互沟通，我们的政府必须推行对话和政策，以保持沟通，允许妥协，促进和解，鼓励合作。”Benny Octaviar, former head of Indonesian Military Research Center and coordinating expert for the Indonesian National Armed Forces Commander, said major countries must reject zero-sum thinking and behave as responsible stakeholders in maintaining the international order.印尼军事研究中心前主任、印尼国家武装部队司令协调专家本尼·奥克塔维亚尔表示，大国必须摒弃零和思维，在维护国际秩序方面扮演负责任的利益攸关方的角色。"Sovereign equality, mutual benefit and peaceful coexistence should be the guiding principles instead of double standards or geopolitical containment," he said.他说：“主权平等、互利共赢、和平共处应该成为指导原则，而不是双重标准或地缘政治遏制。”Andrey Kortunov, former director general of the Russian International Affairs Council, spoke in support of globalization, saying it is not a national strategy but an inevitable stage in human development.俄罗斯国际事务委员会前总干事安德烈·科尔图诺夫支持全球化，称全球化不是国家战略，而是人类发展的必然阶段。"It can be slowed down, but it cannot be completely stopped or reversed," he said.他说：“全球化可以被减缓，但不能完全停止或逆转。”Kortunov said responsible major powers must master multilateralism, as simply multiplying centers of power will not automatically bring global security or stability.科尔图诺夫表示，负责任的大国必须掌握多边主义，因为仅仅增加权力中心并不会自动带来全球安全或稳定。"It is important to learn how to manage relations among nations in such a way that unavoidable competition would not overshadow cooperation, and would not turn into outright confrontation," he said.他说：“重要的是学会如何处理国家间关系，使不可避免的竞争不会掩盖合作，也不会演变成彻底的对抗。”tussle/ˈtʌsl/v./n.争斗；争执multilateralism/ˌmʌltiˈlætərəlɪzəm/n.多边主义rectify/ˈrektɪfaɪ/v.纠正，矫正zero-sum/ˈzɪəroʊ sʌm/adj.零和的

A deliberate muddying of the facts about its invation of Ukraine has been Russia's game plan -- it now brushes off talk of military setbacks by saying it's "regrouping.” But widely circulated videos of Russian soldiers paint a very different picture. Correspondent Melissa Bell reports, followed by an interview with Andrey Kortunov, Director General of the Russian International Affairs Council, a think tank with connections to the Russian foreign ministry.  Also on today's show: Oscar-nominated actor Stanley Tucci, host of the hit travel series Searching for Italy; Oscar-nominated director Immy Humes, author of The Only Woman.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

Russia's war in Ukraine thus far has not gone Moscow's way. Russian President Vladimir Putin appears to have expected that Russian forces would capture Ukraine without much resistance, but Ukrainian forces have put up a fierce fight. The Western response has been more united than Putin appears to have anticipated. Russia faces economic isolation, after Western leaders have enacted crippling, far-reaching sanctions, shutting off the country from the global economy. They have also sent arms to Ukraine and deployed additional NATO troops in the countries on the alliance's eastern flank. Yet for now nothing suggests the Kremlin will reverse course. Talks between Russian and Ukrainian officials continue, but have yielded little. Russia has stepped up its bombardment of Ukrainian cities. Casualties on both sides, and among Ukrainian civilians, are mounting. This week on Hold Your Fire!, Richard Atwood is joined from Moscow by Andrey Kortunov, Crisis Group trustee, director-general of the Russian International Affairs Council and a leading expert on Russian foreign policy. They discuss Russian perspectives on the war, decision-making in the Kremlin, why President Putin appears to have miscalculated so badly and what the next few weeks might hold for the fighting. They look at the danger of the crisis escalating into a wider confrontation between Russia and NATO, potentially through one side misunderstanding the other's intentions, and at ways to avoid that happening. Andrey also lays out what options exist for de-escalating the conflict and obstacles to that happening.

More than a century ago, the German historian Carl Hempel pronounced that history doesn't recognize any “ifs”, even though he himself was obsessed with finding the general laws of the historic process. The conflict in and over Ukraine came as a huge shock to most of us, but, given the imperatives and impediments of the sides involved, was it really such a big surprise? To discuss this, Oksana is joined by Andrey Kortunov, Director General of the Russian International Affairs Council.

Anche oggi vi abbiamo portato in Ucraina, da Kiev a Kharkiv, con le voci sul campo, le analisi e gli scenari dal settimo giorno di guerra nel cuore dell'Europa.

Nel sesto giorno della guerra in Ucraina siamo tornati a raccontare la crisi con voci dal campo, notizie e analisi. Sono stati con noi: Claudio Bertolotti (direttore di START InSight, analista di affari militari), Giorgio Mulé (sottosegretario alla Difesa), Taras Maselko (direttore comunicazione del birrificio Pravda a Leopoli) Andrei Kortunov (Direttore Generale del Russian International Affairs Council), Danil Bochkov (analista del Russian International Affairs Council esperto di relazioni Russia - Cina).

The Kremlin calls it 'peak hysteria'. US officials are giving descriptive accounts of Russia's alleged invasion plans, while Ukraine's leader says he's seen no evidence of it. Instead President Zelenskyy says the West is stoking panic, as he meets German Chancellor Olaf Sholz in Kiev. And despite more meetings and military maneuvering, Europe still appears to be staggering towards the precipice of war, as it urges its citizens to leave Ukraine. How did we get here and is diplomacy failing? Guests: Ulrich Brueckner Professor of European Studies at Stanford University in Berlin Ben Aris Editor in Chief at BNE IntelliNews Andrey Kortunov Director General of the Russian International Affairs Council

International alarm over the Russian military buildup around Ukraine reached new heights over the weekend of February 12-13. More than 30 countries advised their citizens to leave Ukraine, and several embassies pledged to move West, relocating their staff from Kyiv to Lviv. Meanwhile, U.S. officials keep repeating claims that Russia could further invade Ukraine "at any time." To help make sense of the building tensions, Meduza turns to Russian International Affairs Council director-general Andrey Kortunov.

Mentre la diplomazia mostra tutto il suo nervosismo e le truppe continuano ad ammassarsi ai confini di Russia e Bielorussia c'è un aspetto della crisi ucraina che non viene considerato abbastanza: le sanzioni possono davvero funzionare se paesi occidentali come il Regno Unito aprono le porte al riciclaggio degli oligarchi russi? Di questo e degli ultimi aggiornamenti al confine ucraino abbiamo parlato con: Andrei Kortunov, direttore generale del Russian International Affairs Council, Camilla Gironi, analista di affari russi e coordinatrice del desk Bielorussia di Osservatorio Russia, Edward Lucas, ex senior editor dell'Economist, editorialista del Times di Londra, oggi candidato a Westminster per il partito liberaldemocratico e Angelo Mincuzzi, inviato del Sole 24Ore, autore di "Fiumi di denaro".

Why is it that U.S. nuclear war exercises are good, as we are told they are "to secure our freedoms", but Russian exercises are described as a prelude to invade another country? Who has invaded more countries in recent years, the combined U.S./NATO forces, or Russia and China? Which alliance has used false flags as an excuse for war, organized Color Revolutions to carry out coups, and imposed sanctions to punish innocent civilians? The lying narratives must stop! The Schiller Institute will hold a joint event with the Russian International Affairs Council on Feb. 10 to discuss a solution to the crisis in Afghanistan.

This episode examines the re-emergence of the concept of strategic stability as a means of managing security relations between Russia and the transatlantic community and avoiding war. Following Moscow's annexation of Crimea in 2014 and its military intervention in eastern Ukraine, the confrontation between Russia and NATO has become increasingly dangerous. In 2021, Presidents Putin and Biden launched a dialogue to manage rising tensions focused on promoting strategic stability in their relations. In this episode, Professor Andrey Kortunov, Director General of the Russian International Affairs Council, and Professor Malcolm Chalmers, Deputy Director-General of RUSI, discuss with Dr Neil Melvin, Director RUSI International Security Studies, the value that ideas of strategic stability have for addressing growing nuclear and conventional tensions, and consider how the UK and Russia might improve their own bilateral security relationship through a strategic stability dialogue.

Big politics is still primarily the realm of alpha males, especially when it comes to interactions between Russia and the United States, which have thousands of nuclear-tipped rockets pointed at one another. But at this week's bilateral summit in Geneva, Vladimir Putin and Joe Biden seemed to have put macho politics aside and even agreed that they bear responsibility for managing the relationship between their countries. Will the commitment last? To discuss this, Oksana is joined by Andrey Kortunov, director general of the Russian International Affairs Council.

Born in Sanahin, Armenia in 1895, Anastas Ivanovich Mikoyan was the most prominent Soviet state figure of Armenian origin. A survivor, Mikoyan managed to weather every Soviet leader from Lenin to Brezhnev. He was once the #2 man in Moscow after Nikita Khrushchev, and his legacy is complex. Today on Groong, we will explore this extraordinary historical figure.To help us unpack the historical legacy of Mikoyan, Pietro Shakarian joins us today from Cleveland. Pietro is a historian and a Ph.D. candidate in Russian History at the Ohio State University. His dissertation focuses on Mikoyan’s reforms in de-Stalinization and the nationality sphere in the Khrushchev-era USSR. His analyses on Russia, Armenia, and the post-Soviet space have appeared in The Nation, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Russian International Affairs Council, Russia Direct, and Hetq. He has also worked with the Gomidas Institute in London on the republication of 19th century accounts of the Russian Caucasus and Armenia.Editors: - Asbed Bedrossian - Hovik Manucharyan

The era of universalism is receding; the time of fragmentation and selfishness has arrived. Nationalism, in the broad sense, has returned. This worldview is already widespread, and the COVID-19 pandemic has normalized it. What does international cooperation look like during the triumph of national interests? Is it possible to realize these interests without interaction? We turned to Andrei Kortunov, Director General of the Russian International Affairs Council, and Anatol Lieven, Professor of Georgetown University in Qatar for their insight. Geopolitics on the Move is a podcast series hosted by Sean Guillory (SRB Podcast) and Fyodor Lukyanov (Russia in Global Affairs). Geopolitics on the Move is produced by Russia in Global Affairs, the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, Graduate Initiative in Russian Studies at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, and the Center for Russian, Eastern European, & Eurasian Studies at the University of Pittsburgh. The Carnegie Corporation of New York provided funding.

Andrey Kortunov, Director General of the Russian International Affairs Council, on the poisoning of the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

When images spread of a giant mushroom cloud rising over Lebanon's capital, the timing could not have been more ominous. Nearly 75 years ago to the day, a much larger cloud rose above the city of Hiroshima and three days later, Nagasaki, ushering in an age of nuclear weapons. As Japan remembers those events, the two superpowers capable of unleashing that kind of destruction are at odds with each other. Russia and the United States hold ninety percent of the world's nuclear arms, and the agreement that keeps those numbers in check is about to expire. Will they be able to make a fresh START, or is this the end of arms control as we know it? Guests: Tatsujiro Suzuki Vice Director at Research Center for Nuclear Weapons Abolition Dan Smith Director of Stockholm International Peace Research Institute Miles Pomper Senior Fellow at James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies Andrey Kortunov Director General of the Russian International Affairs Council​

Alexey Khlebnikov, Middle East analyst at the Russian International Affairs Council, told Ahval editor David Lepeska that he expects the ceasefire to hold in Syria’s Idlib province and that Turkish-Russian relations have stabilised since the countries’ presidents decided to focus on areas of agreement, rather than dispute. 

2019 was a good year for Russia. The country rejoined the Council of Europe, the first case of sanctions being lightened since its 2014 annexation of Crimea. It confirmed the country’s commitment to the Paris climate agreement. It welcomed close to fifty African leaders to the inaugural Russia-Africa summit in Sochi. Moscow even made progress with Kyiv, although less as a result of Russian diplomacy than the efforts of Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy. Andrey Kortunov, Director General of the Russian International Affairs Council, joined Olga and Hugh to reflect on 2019 and discuss what 2020 might bring. They weigh in on everything from Syrian reconstruction to arms control to who President Putin might want to win the U.S. presidential election.

In this episode of Russian Roulette, Jeff sits down with Alexey Khlebnikov, Middle East/North Africa expert at the Russian International Affairs Council and private consultant at various think tanks around the world. They discuss Moscow’s successes and failures in Syria as well as the changes in the region that have taken place since Russia’s military intervention in Syria. Khlebnikov also discusses how the U.S. and Russia could cooperate in the Middle East.
