It was great that economic security experts not only from our university, but also guest speakers from other cities and even countries were invited to participate. This contributed to global and comprehensive coverage of economic security amid sanctions pressure. Issues of information support for economic security and the practice of implementing it in various countries were of particular interest to me, as my current professional focus is controlled foreign companies.
