On October 13, 2026, an online meeting took place with Dr. Gerasimos Rodotheatos, Assistant Professor at the College of Security and Global Studies, American University in the Emirates (UAE).
The open guest lecture was titled “International Security: The Strait of Hormuz and the Black Sea.”
Students from the Department of Economics, Entrepreneurship, and Business Administration—specifically groups PB-51, E-41/1e, and BA.m-51an—participated in the event.
The lecture covered the following topics:
– the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz and the Black Sea within the international security system;
– contemporary geopolitical challenges and security threats in strategically important maritime regions;
– the impact of regional conflicts and international tensions on global trade, energy security, and international economic relations.
We thank the organizers—the Department of International Economic Relations at Sumy State University—for the opportunity to attend this engaging session.
