During the meeting, the parties discussed opportunities to strengthen think tank-to-think tank cooperation through joint academic and expert events, as well as coordinated research initiatives.

Amb.Vakhabov emphasized that the inaugural ministerial meeting held in London in February this year represented an important milestone in reinforcing the institutional framework of the dialogue and helped set the agenda for deepening collaboration between the analytical centers of the two countries.

The establishment of new platforms for think tanks within this format will help shape a substantive and relevant agenda for high-level meetings, as well as facilitate the development of practical policy recommendations for governments.

Grégoire Roos expressed his willingness to facilitate the expansion of expert dialogue between the institutions, including through joint research projects.

 Founded in 1920, the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House) is one of the world’s foremost think tanks, specializing in international relations, the global economy, and security studies. The Institute publishes the academic journals International Affairs and The World Today and regularly organizes expert discussions and research initiatives in these areas.
