🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s address at the 7th Ministerial Meeting of the Russia-Gulf Cooperation Council Strategic Dialogue
📍 Riyadh, September 9, 2024
💬 Sergey Lavrov: I am glad to have the opportunity to be here on the hospitable Saudi land to hold the 7th Ministerial Meeting of the Russia-Gulf Cooperation Council Strategic Dialogue. As our Chairman said we met in Moscow in 2023.
Riyadh, where the #GCC is headquartered, is hosting our event for the third time. The strategic dialogue at the level of Foreign Ministers was launched 13 years ago.
🌐 The world has changed a great deal since that time. We can state that the centuries-long hegemony of the West, which the United States and its allies are trying to preserve by all means, is going to be a thing of the past. <...> No doubt that the GCC is becoming a major independent centre in the developing multipolar international order.
The role of the Gulf Cooperation Council will be growing also because of the numerous crises still preserved in the Middle East. <...>
At the previous meeting in Moscow, we said that the achievement of genuine stability in the Middle East is impossible without settling the oldest regional problem – the Palestine-Israeli conflict through establishing a Palestinian state in compliance with UN resolutions. <...>
Together with our Arab friends, GCC countries inclusive, we have succeeded in securing, despite US resistance, the adoption of several Security Council and UN General Assembly resolutions demanding a ceasefire. <...>
The confrontation between Israel and Iran has reached a new dangerous level.
⚠️ The Middle East is again on the brink of a big regional war. To prevent it is our common responsibility. We are working on normalising the situation with all sides. We closely coordinate our actions in the United Nations and on other platforms with our friends from the Gulf Cooperation Council.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s statement and answers to media questions during a news conference following the 7th Russia-GCC Ministerial Meeting for Strategic Dialogue
📍 Riyadh, September 9, 2024
💬 Sergey Lavrov: We had a candid, useful and result-oriented discussion. We reviewed the status of implementation of the 2023-2028 Joint Action Plan which was approved at the last meeting of the Strategic Dialogue in Moscow in July 2023.
We discussed prospects for Russia’s cooperation with the countries of the region in the economy, investment, cultural ties and information exchanges.
We focused specifically on the international situation, primarily, the situation in the Middle East, with a focus on the tragedy unfolding in the Palestinian territories, namely, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank of the Jordan River. We share a common stance on the importance of urgently putting an end to violence, settling humanitarian issues and starting serious practical work to implement UN resolutions on creating a Palestinian state that will coexist with Israel in peace and security.
We covered other regional issues, including the Syria settlement, the situation in Yemen, the Red Sea, Libya, and a number of other issues.
☝️ We underscored our appreciation for the balanced position adopted by all GCC countries on the Ukraine crisis. Many of them, including Saudi Arabia, are providing assistance in resolving humanitarian issues not only in the context of what is happening in Ukraine, but in a broader context as well. I’m referring to our relations with the United States and Europe and the recent exchange of prisoners which took place with the direct involvement of the Saudi leaders. <...>
🌐 In addition to the bilateral agenda, we discussed current international issues and reaffirmed our commitment to the objective process of forming a new multipolar world order without hegemons or dictators, where the key principle of the UN Charter - the sovereign equality of all states - will be respected.

🇷🇺🇸🇦 On September 8 and 9, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was on a working visit to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He was received by Crown Prince and Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud and had a meeting with Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud.
The participants in the talks had a detailed discussion on the key avenues for further developing of the traditionally friendly Russian-Saudi relations in all their aspects with a focus on the practical implementation of the agreements reached following President of Russia Vladimir Putin’s visit to Saudi Arabia in December 2023.
📈 The two Sides expressed their shared interest in promoting consistent efforts to expand their trade and economic cooperation, step up investment collaboration, including the implementation of current and future projects, and promoting closer cultural, humanitarian, scientific and technological ties.
They praised the existing level of cooperation in the OPEC+ format and stressed that the recently approved decisions testified to the growing stability and independence of this unique coordinating mechanism used by the oil exporting countries, as well as its effectiveness and relevance in terms of balancing supply and demand on the global energy market.
They paid special attention to current regional issues, including prospects for the settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in light of the ongoing unprecedented escalation of violence in the Gaza Strip, as well as the state of affairs in Yemen, Sudan, and Syria. They noted that Moscow and Riyadh shared convergent approaches in favour of resolving of the persisting Middle East crises as quickly as possible and solely by political and diplomatic methods taking into account the interests of all the parties involved and within a generally recognised international legal framework in keeping with the principles of the UN Charter.
🤝 They reaffirmed the shared commitment by Russia and Saudi Arabia to maintain regular political dialogue and coordination on all aspects of the bilateral and global agenda.

🎙 Excerpts and key points from Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s answers to media questions during a news conference following the 7th Russia-GCC Ministerial Meeting for Strategic Dialogue (Riyadh, September 9, 2024)
#Ukraine
• We have never taken the “Zelensky formula” seriously and only marvelled that there are still people ready to buy it. Of course, this happens under the West’s pressure.
• But territories are neither here nor there. We just wanted the people, who are an inalienable part of the Russian world and the Russian culture, language, history, and religion, to be treated as human beings as required under international law, numerous conventions on human rights and minority rights, and primarily the UN Charter.
• No success will be achieved unless we get to the root of this problem. In this context, we appreciate the global security initiative announced by PRC President Xi Jinping, which says that it is necessary to start analysing any conflict from its prime causes.
• You should understand that it is not about the meeting location and participants, but about issues to be discussed. Meeting to talk about calls for a ceasefire and then territorial exchanges simply doesn’t cut it. Once again, the problem is not about territories but people’s rights.
As soon as we see the determination to protect human rights, a policy that the West always boasts about when addressing any issue (except this particular one), I am confident we will easily agree on the location and time of the meeting. But first we need to understand what exactly we are going to discuss.
#GEP
• At today’s meeting with the Gulf Cooperation Council, we discussed this Eurasia-based organisation’s promising potential for promoting the continent-wide processes and contributing to what President Vladimir Putin referred to as the Greater Eurasian Partnership.
• We want the nations of the Eurasian continent – the largest, fastest-growing, and most resource-rich part of the world – to decide their fate on their own.
#MiddleEast
• Washington wants to preserve its monopoly over any processes in the Middle East. We know many cases when this position has resulted in failure. Today’s discussion with our colleagues from the Persian Gulf’s Arab countries has fully confirmed us in this belief.
• An immediate ceasefire is necessary. Meanwhile, it is important to remember that the problem stems from the fact that the Palestinian state issue has not been resolved for almost 80 years.
#BRICS
• BRICS has doubled its membership from five to ten. It has already received more than 30 applications requesting either membership or special relations. This process is the main driving force behind the formation of a multipolar world order.
• BRICS is following an upward trajectory in its development, and this trend will only grow stronger. The Russian BRICS Chairmanship is greatly contributing to this.

📄 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s greetings to the organisers and participants in the International Anti-Fascist Forum 2024 (September 11, 2024)
✍️ I warmly welcome the organisers and participants in the 10th International Anti-Fascist Forum, which is timed to coincide with the International Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Fascism.
This year, we look back on a landmark period in our country’s glorious military history – 80 years ago, Soviet forces began to liberate Europe from Nazism, thereby bringing the Great Victory closer.
Today, Russia again has to rise in arms against the revival of that misanthropic ideology – to carry out the special military operation to protect its people from Ukrainian neo-Nazis. Our purpose is to work together to counter the propaganda of Russophobia, the rise of radical nationalist forces, the desecration and destruction of monuments to Red Army soldiers, and attempts to distort the role played by the Soviet liberator soldiers.
I am confident that this forum, themed Remembering the Past – Thinking about the Future, will make a significant contribution to preserving the historical truth, fighting xenophobia and ethnic and religious intolerance.
🤝 I wish you rewarding work and all the very best.
