| Summary/Abstract |
CHAIRMANSHIP of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) in 2012 and the APEC summit in Vladivostok have opened a new phase in the Asian policy of Russia. The point at issue is to cement the recognition by the international community of the weighty role of our country as a Eurasian power, not only in Euro-Atlantic but also in Asia-Pacific affairs.
Today, the significance of the AP region has increased dramatically - both for the world in general, and Russia in particular, which is logical. For it is there that the center of world economic and political life is shifting from the Euro-Atlantic area. There are located the most powerful economies of the world - American, Chinese, and Japanese. The geographical proximity of the burgeoning South Asian giant India is being increasingly felt in the affairs of the region.
