As the result, 6 students from Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Vladivostok and Khabarovsk were chosen as Russian Federation Youth ambassadors for this programme. Their names are: Anastasiya Burmistrova, Aleksander Pilyay, Daria Fedorova (Far Eastern Federal University), Viktor Klementiev (Khabarovsk State Academy of Economics and Law), Marianna Belinskaya (Saint Petersburg State University), and Antonina Gromyko (Moscow State University of International Relations). During the APEC VOF winners will attend meeting of APEC Business Advisory Council, Working groups meetings, CEO Summit, and, of course, Leaders Summit, when Heads of 21 member-economies will greet each other.

We would like to remind, that in order to deserve this honor, delegates had to come through various challenges, like making a research about the most crucial issues in APEC agenda, writing several essays, preparation to a conference and participation in a round of debates in the format of APEC. The toughest step in the selection was the debate on the agenda “Energy Security in APEC”. After three days of hot deliberations, delegates delivered a comprehensive declaration that contained alternative ways and perspectives how to solve this problem.

Now their prepreparation is over, and an amazing journey is waiting for them, promising them new diplomatic experience and wonderful impressions. Organizers of the National Selection, members of Model United Nations of the Russian Far East are grateful to our sponsors: rector of FEFU Vladimir Miklushevsky, Youth Policy Department of FEFU, Primorsky region Administration (Aleksander Lagunov), and “Slavda” company.
