🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks and answers to media questions during a joint news conference with Foreign Minister of Belarus Sergey Aleinik following talks in Moscow
💬 <...> Our commitment to coordinate our foreign policies is one of the main pillars of the Union State’s development. This is increasingly emerging as a critical element when it comes to ensuring the national interests of our countries in today’s geopolitical environment. We agreed to keep supporting each other as allies and strategic partners in the interests of our countries, our people and the Union State.
<...>
We exchanged views on the implementation of the Supreme Council’s resolution to draft a Security Concept for the Union State. The Foreign Ministries of Russia and Belarus will proactively support this effort, while the secretariats of our respective security councils oversee this process.
Answers to media questions
🔹 I share these considerations and our determination to develop integration-related processes in order to make them independent from the illegitimate unilateral actions of the US-led collective West.
🔹 Equal and indivisible security was declared in the OSCE. It was expressly stated that no single country and no single organisation in the Euro-Atlantic space would strengthen its security at the expense of the security of others or claim dominance in this geographical region. All of that was torn to pieces by our Western colleagues when they set a course for unapologetic NATO expansion.
🔹 We hear wailing in Washington, Brussels and London that “Russia has no interest in peace.” I’m tired of commenting on this. They have said that they would only accept what suits Zelensky. It’s a case of the tail wagging the dog, as has happened in American history before.

🇷🇺 The new Concept states that Russia pursues an independent and multi-vector foreign policy driven by its national interests and the awareness of its special responsibility for maintaining peace and security at the global and regional levels.
🤝 A defining characteristic of Russia's current foreign policy is its pragmatic nature, which implies building relations with other States and interstate associations, taking into account their attitude towards our country.
❗️ An important addition to the document is that our Armed Forces will be used not only to repel an armed attack on Russia and its allies, but also to prevent such actions. This approach fully complies with the requirements of Article 51 of the UN Charter and reflects the principle of indivisible security.
☢️ With regard to the hypothetical possibility of using nuclear weapons for defense purposes, Russia continues to strictly adhere to the principled approaches outlined in our Military Doctrine of December 2014 and the Fundamentals of State Policy in the field of nuclear deterrence adopted in June 2020. Both of these documents allow deterrence through Russia's combined military potential, including both its nuclear and conventional components.

🇷🇺🇺🇬 On May 18, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov held talks with Foreign Minister of the Republic of Uganda Abubaker Jeje Odongo, who is in Moscow on a working visit.

The Ugandan side was thoroughly updated on the progress of the special military operation. They agreed to strengthen interaction and coordination of steps taken by representatives of the two states at the UN and other international platforms.
✍️ Mr Lavrov and Mr Odongo signed a joint statement on no first placement of weapons in outer space.

🇷🇺🇦🇲 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s opening remarks during talks with Foreign Minister of the Republic of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan
📍 Moscow, May 19, 2023
💬 Sergey Lavrov: We are delighted to welcome you to Moscow. We have managed to set up a trilateral ministerial meeting and a meeting between you and your Azerbaijani counterpart today.
The Russian Federation is making its platform available for the talks and will do its best to create the necessary conditions to allow you to move forward in your talks on all tracks that were articulated in the trilateral statements by the presidents of Russia and Azerbaijan and the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia.
We appreciated Nikol Pashinyan attending the May 9 parade to commemorate the Soviet peoples’ victory in the Great Patriotic War. We hope he will be able to take part in the session of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council in Moscow on May 25. It will be an important event.
We have an interest in continuing to advance every agreement between our leaders, primarily, trade and economic cooperation, which has truly become a driving engine behind Russian-Armenian relations. I believe we will touch upon our interaction within the integration associations such as the CSTO, the EAEU and the CIS.
Today's talks focus on normalising Armenia-Azerbaijan relations. The role of the trilateral agreements signed by the leaders of the three countries is critically important and should be of utmost importance while identifying solutions to the issues related to the peace treaty, the unblocking of roads and the delimitation with the ensuing demarcation of the border.
I think progress in these areas is a key pre-condition for achieving lasting peace in the South Caucasus. Russia plays a historical role in this region and has major interests at stake. I am convinced that our allies are aware of that.
We will strive to do everything possible in this capacity to make sure today’s meetings are useful and bring about concrete results.

✍️ President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin sent greetings to participants in the 32nd Arab League summit:
✉️ Russia has always attached great importance to the development of friendly relations and constructive partner interaction with countries in the Middle East and North Africa, including within the framework of the League of Arab States, in order to effectively cope with the threats and challenges that humankind is currently facing.
We intend to continue to actively support collective efforts for a peaceful settlement of serious regional problems, including the crises in Sudan, Yemen, Libya and Syria, based on unconditional respect for state sovereignty and the principles of international law. We will continue to provide all-round assistance to a settlement of the Palestine-Israel conflict based on the approaches envisioned in the relevant decisions of the UN and the Arab Peace Initiative, which was put forth by Saudi Arabia, the host country of the current Arab League summit.
🌐 We believe that the further development of multifaceted cooperation between Russia and the Arab countries fully meets our common interests and is in keeping with the goal of building a fairer and more democratic system of international relations based on the principles of multipolarity, genuine equality and respect for each other’s interests.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s interview for “The Path to the Islamic World” documentary (May 19, 2023)
Key talking points:
Read in full
• In the mid-2000s, the historical West began to ramp up its efforts to impose unipolarity and to aggressively promote ultra-liberal values that are unacceptable to most of the peoples of our planet. During this historical period, Russia and the Muslim world began to consistently and steadily build mutually respectful partnerships.
• The plans entertained by current Western leaders who are toeing the line of diktat imposed by the United States do not include good, close or strategic relations between Russia and the Islamic world. But this state of affairs does not depend on Washington or other Western capitals.
• With more than 15 years of interaction within the Strategic Vision Group, our foreign colleagues could see for themselves and on multiple occasions that its activities are marked by a truly equitable and mutually respectful dialogue, avoidance of bloc mentality and lecturing, as well as a sincere and mutual willingness and an interest in developing common approaches to current issues.
• Our OIC partners are well aware of Russia’s successful experience of building a multiethnic and multi-religious state which has been highly praised and recognised by the Islamic world. Important practical recommendations have been expressed to counter terrorism and extremism, including at the ideology level.
• The Strategic Vision Group provides a platform for public and civic initiatives seeking to expand cooperation with Muslim countries and identify new areas for joint efforts. Trade and economic cooperation and efforts to identify new and promising areas for joint investment.

🎙 Interview by Special Representative of the Russian Foreign Minister for Cooperation with Organisations of Muslim States, Ambssador-at-Large Konstantin Shuvalov with RT on the sidelines of the XIV International Economic Forum "Russia - Islamic World: KazanForum" 2023.
💬 The situation is changing, including the global economy. These changes are the result of the neo-colonialist actions by the West, which are destroying everything that has been created. They are trying to restore and keep alive those schemes they have unilaterally invented, including replacing international law with their own rules. <...> The era of the dominance of the US dollar as the only currency of international importance and finance is passing.
