International Affairs": We all know that the APR is developing into another power center as a hub of global economic development with a much greater impact on global politics. What are the main factors behinds its balanced development and what is Russia's role in these processes?
Aleksey Borodavkin, Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia: In recent years, the center of global economic development and political interaction has shifted to the APR where the East Asian export-oriented economies, though hit, together with the rest of the world, by adverse conjuncture, suffered much less of the global financial and economic crisis than Europe and America. The region has retained its role of a driving force of world economy; the national economies are much closer intertwined than before which adds vigor to regional economic integration and stirs up centripetal trends behind the polycentric regional order which is taking shape before our eyes.
Russia, Siberia and the Far East in the first place, should capitalize on its geographical proximity to the rapidly rising region to embrace the innovation development patterns and modernize its economy. The meeting chaired by President Medvedev which took place in Khabarovsk on 2 July 2010 arrived precisely at this conclusion.
From the 18th century onwards, Russia realized itself as a great power stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific and a progressive civi-lizational project. Our past suggests that we should clarify the priorities to be able to join concrete political and economic projects to the advantage of our people.

| Summary/Abstract |
THE YEAR 2010 has become history. The Asia-Pacific Region (APR) which stretches from Iran to Japan and the South Pacific islands used it to leave the global financial and economic crisis behind; move to dynamic development; acquire and strengthen new poles of growth and influence and push forward multisided cooperation.
Much of what was going on there, however, caused concern: repeated flare-ups of old disagreements and conflicts; the challenges and threats of the last few decades as well as the still very much obvious gap between the development levels of some of the states and sub-regions. In other words, very much as before the region scored up impressive achievements and was still grappling with numerous unresolved problems.

| Summary/Abstract |
ONE CAN ONLY WELCOME the initiative of the Council of Veterans of the RF Ministry of Foreign Affairs to publish a collection of reminiscences by retired Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Anatoly Zaitsev of the years he spent in the diplomatic service in Hanoi (A.S. Zaitsev, Vspominaya Vietnam [Remembering Vietnam], Moscow, RFK-Imidzh Publishers, 2010) by the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Russia and Vietnam.
"We sift everything through our memories," said Russian President Dmitry Medvedev at his meeting with graduates from Soviet and Russian higher education institutions during a recent visit to Vietnam. "We are who we are precisely because we have a memory and we have a past. The past of our nations and of our states is based on friendship and mutual assistance, particularly during the time Vietnam was fighting for its independence."
