Session I
Personal information security amid information wars. International aid: domination or assistance. The
new realities of digital communication. Media coverage of financial and economic crises.
Armen Oganesyan, Editor-in-Chief of Interna-
tional Affairs : The theme of our conference, our
third conference, devoted to current issues of in-
ternational journalism, is Global Challenges in the
Media Mirror. I would like to thank V.I.
Voronkov, Permanent Representative of the Russian
Federation to the International Organizations in Vienna,
for giving us an opportunity to work in this won-
derful building. He will be the first to get the floor.
Vladimir Voronkov: I welcome everyone to Vi-
enna, to the premises of the Permanent Mission
of the Russian Federation. About 30 various in-
ternational organizations are located in Vienna. I
believe that your discussion today will be very
meaningful, because there is both a European di-
mension here and the global context of modern
problems. So I would like to wish you productive
work.
Sergey Nechaev, Ambassador Extraordinary
and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to
the Austrian Republic: Austria holds a special po-
sition amid the developments which could be de-
scribed as the turbulence that has hit the
European continent in the context of the Ukraine
crisis, and advocates for the continuation of a
comprehensive and constructive dialogue with
Russia. Austria constantly champions strengthen-
ing the journalists' status and security, and it was among the initiators of the well-known
UN resolution on the safety of journalists, especially those working in "hot spots.''
