A conference looking at the problems facing the Middle East has been held in the Lebanese capital, Beirut on April 19, 2010. Discussion revolved around what role the world’s superpowers should play in solving the region’s problems. Al Jazeera’s “Inside Story” asks if the US, China and Russia have shared interests and whether a stable Middle East really is in the best interests of all.
From the introduction by moderator Mike Hanna:
“We will discuss the myriad problems of the region and specifically the question of what role can the superpowers play in the resolution? Are the interest of the US China and Russia shared or are they competing and is a stable Middle East in the interest of all?”
Panelists:
Jessica Tuchman Mathews – President of the Carnegie Endowment
Dmitri Trenin – Director of the Carnegie Moscow Center
