Description:

Political situation in Russia remained stable in 2010 despite some turbulence. Anti-terrorism mission was still arduous as demonstrated by subway bombings and frequent terrorist incidents in the Caucasus. Economic recovery was the general trend, however, growth slowed down due to weaker revival of major economies and the scarce drought, etc. It is advisable for Russia to orient its diplomatic priority towards the amelioration of Russia-US relations, towards Northeast Asia affairs, and towards the rationalization of its diplomatic relations with CIS and East European countries.

Political situation remained stable in Central Asia in spite of unrest in some local regions. Economic recovery emerged in this region, accompanied by the improvement in most economies except Kyrgyzstan under political instability. Economic and social development remained uneven, with wealth disparity continually widened in this region. Prospect of regional development is increasingly indistinct as potential threats to the security and stability of this region have not yet been eradicated. Intraregional issues were becoming prominent and diplomatic relations further complicated. In geopolitical term, these countries were still in a difficult situation of how to maintain balance among major powers.

Dividing process continued in Central and Eastern Europe. In political term, the formation of governments encountered multiple frustrations, and political impasses occurred owing to the lack of cooperation between political parties, though general situation in this region was stable. In economic term, weak recovery emerged in most economies as they escaped the downturn. Economic performance was remarkable in Poland, Czech and Slovakia. European integration and Euro-Atlantic integration served strategic choices for CEE countries, as geopolitical situation of this region remained without fundamental change.

China and Northeast Asia remained important targets of Russian diplomacy. Sino-Russian strategic partnership of cooperation has been further escalated. Economic ties were historically closer between China and Central Asian countries. The 10th meeting of The Council of Heads of State, held in Tashkent, the Republic of Kazakhstan, has articulated the directions of the cooperation in diverse spheres. China still remained friendly relations and cooperation with Central and East European Countries.
