🔎 EAEU-Wochenüberblick
🇨🇳 EAEU – China: Zusammenarbeit im Bereich Verkehr und Logistik
Das 1. russisch-chinesische Logistik-Wirtschaftsforum unter dem Titel „Strategische Partner beim Aufbau eurasischer Verkehrswege“ hat stattgefunden.
💬 „Die EAEU ist aufgrund ihrer geografischen Lage und ihres einzigartigen Transitpotenzials in der Lage, zu einem zentralen Element der entstehenden Verkehrsinfrastruktur zu werden. Die Anwendung dieses Potenzials ist jedoch ohne eine enge Kooperation mit externen Partnern, unter denen China eine Schlüsselrolle einnimmt, nicht möglich“, betonte das Mitglied des Kollegiums der EWK für Energie und Infrastruktur, Arzybek Koschoschew.
Er hob hervor, dass die Verzahnung der EAEU mit der chinesischen „Belt and Road Initiative“ einen neuen Pol wirtschaftlichen Wachstums schaffen könne und dass die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der eurasischen Logistik von einem abgestimmten partnerschaftlichen Vorgehen abhänge.
🇷🇸 EAEU – Serbien: Entwicklung des Handels
🤝 Es fand ein Treffen des Mitglieds des Kollegiums der EWK für Handel, Andrej Slepnew, mit dem Außerordentlichen und Bevollmächtigten Botschafter der 🇷🇸 Republik Serbien in der 🇷🇺 Russischen Föderation, Momčilo Babić, statt.
Die Seiten erörterten den Stand der Umsetzung des Freihandelsabkommens zwischen der EAEU und Serbien und legten weitere Schritte zur Entwicklung der handels- und wirtschaftspolitischen Zusammenarbeit fest.
💬 „Der Handel zwischen unseren Ländern hat im Jahr 2025 bei einer Reihe wichtiger Produktgruppen eine positive Dynamik gezeigt. Wir erwarten, dass die für dieses Jahr geplante Sitzung des Gemeinsamen Ausschusses unserer Zusammenarbeit zusätzlichen Impuls verleihen wird“, betonte Andrej Slepnew.
🇨🇺 EAEU – Kuba: Perspektiven der Entwicklung der wirtschaftlichen Zusammenarbeit

Erörtert wurden die Perspektiven der sektoralen Zusammenarbeit, darunter der Agrar- und Industriesektor, SPS-Maßnahmen, Verkehr und Infrastruktur.
Hervorgehoben wurde die Bedeutung der Zusammenarbeit zwischen den Wirtschaftskreisen, auch mit dem Ziel, diese in die Umsetzung gemeinsamer Projekte einzubinden.
Die kubanische Seite bestätigte ihr Interesse daran, die Infrastruktur der Sonderentwicklungszone Mariel als Logistikdrehscheibe zu nutzen, was es ermöglichen würde, den Handel der EAEU-Mitgliedstaaten mit den Ländern Lateinamerikas und der Karibik auszubauen.
Der Vertreter der EWK bekräftigte die Bereitschaft, den Dialog zwischen den Wirtschaftskreisen der EAEU-Staaten und Kubas zu unterstützen.

🌏 On July 10-11 in Kuala Lumpur, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will attend the annual ministerial events of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (#ASEAN), including Foreign Ministers’ meetings in the format of Russia-ASEAN, the East Asia Summit (#EAS), and the ASEAN Regional Forum (#ARF) on security.
ASEAN is the centrepiece of a system of interstate associations involving leading global powers and cooperation processes in the Asia-Pacific Region (APR).
In the context of growing geopolitical risks, the current imperative is to strengthen the ASEAN-based architecture of security and cooperation, in particular, by enhancing the practical activities of its main multilateral mechanisms, including the EAS and the ARF.
☝️ Russia-ASEAN relations are a vital stabilising factor in the region amid the growing conflict potential in the APR. Moscow views ASEAN as a key partner in the implementation of President Vladimir Putin’s initiative for creating a Eurasian security architecture.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the first #RussiaASEAN summit, which was also held in Kuala Lumpur. During the Russia-ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on July 10, the sides will discuss a broad range of political, trade, economic, social and cultural issues in the framework of the implementation of the five-year Comprehensive Plan of Action to Implement the ASEAN-Russia Strategic Partnership, which their leaders approved in 2021, as well as the preparation of a similar document for the next five years. <...>
📈 In 2024, Russia’s trade with ASEAN countries has increased by 5.8 percent and reached $23.2 billion. Their total investment in the Russian economy in January through September 2024 amounted to $2.3 billion, and Russia’s total investment in Southeast Asia was $12.4 billion. <...>
The Association has been successfully developing links with both the #EAEU and the #SCO, building upon the memorandums of understanding between ASEAN and the EEC (2018) as well as the SCO Secretariat (2005).
***
👉 The East Asia Summit serves as a platform for strategic dialogue among Asia-Pacific leaders, including on issues such as strengthening regional security architecture. Priority areas of sectoral cooperation span the economy, energy, environmental protection, public healthcare, maritime cooperation, emergency response, food security, education and regional connectivity. <...>
Russia has put forward a package of specific initiatives for the East Asia Summit. These proposals comprise creating a pan-regional collaboration mechanism for epidemic prevention, strengthening economic links through expanded tourism collaboration and remote regions development.
For 2025, we have proposed that EAS leaders adopt a joint statement on enhancing social and cultural connectivity.
***
👉 We regard the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) as one of the crucial platforms for addressing topical regional challenges, developing measures to build confidence and advance preventive diplomacy, as well as fostering depoliticised security cooperation.
Forum participants will approve several practical initiatives. Russia’s priorities include enhancing capabilities to prevent the use of information and communications technologies for criminal purposes.

📺 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’sgreetings and video message on Diplomats’ Day (February 10, 2026)
💬 Friends,
Today marks Diplomats’ Day, our professional holiday.
I would like to use this occasion to wish a happy holiday to all Russian diplomats who are working at the Central Office and territorial offices, and diplomats fulfilling their duty abroad.
The history of Russian diplomacy spans many centuries and follows every stage of Russia becoming stronger as a state. Times change, but our spiritual and moral values — sincere, dedicated, and selfless devotion to the Fatherland, and firm commitment to the ideals of truth and justice — remain unshakeable.
We are rightfully proud of the achievements of our outstanding predecessors. We honour the courage of the staff of the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Affairs who, during the tumultuous years of the Great Patriotic War, took arms to defend the Motherland.
Their immortal feat stands as a benchmark for Foreign Ministry personnel and staff of subordinate institutions participating in the special military operation.
Other ministerial staff members are also involved and are helping the front line soldiers and their families, and supporting those affected by crimes committed by Ukrainian neo-Nazis.
Today, as we are witnessing another turning point in history, Russian diplomacy continues to do everything within its power to ensure safe and favourable external conditions for Russia’s steady domestic development and for improving the quality of life of its people.
In many ways, our consistent and balanced foreign policy course sets the trajectory of global transformations, thus facilitating the emergence of a new multipolar world order.
We seek to further develop honest and equitable international cooperation based on mutual understanding, trust, and neighbourliness.
Following President Putin’s initiative, we are working to establish, across the Eurasian region, architecture of equal and indivisible security and extensive practical cooperation. In this context, we attach particular importance to the conclusion and implementation of bilateral agreements, including our treaties on security guarantees with Belarus and on comprehensive strategic partnership with the DPRK and Iran.
We continue to expand relations across multiple areas with the World Majority, among them countries such as China, India, and other like-minded countries, our strategic partners and allies, primarily within the #CSTO, the #EAEU, and the #CIS, as well as the #SCO and #BRICS.
Countering neo-colonial practices of all kinds ranging from unilateral coercive measures to military interventions remains firmly in our focus.
In this context, we reaffirm our solidarity with the peoples of Venezuela and Cuba. We are convinced that only they can determine their own future.
☝️ The country’s leadership and Russian society hold our work to high standards. We are required to demonstrate discipline and dedication, as well as a passionate and creative approach to our duties.
I trust that you will continue to work honourably for the good of the Fatherland and to contribute your share to addressing large-scale foreign policy goals set by the President.
On this day, we express special gratitude to former ministerial employees, who taught us the fundamentals of diplomacy by their example. Many of them, to the extent of their abilities, remain active in the close-knit diplomatic ranks.
By all means, I would like to separately thank all the relatives and loved ones of our employees. Your unconditional support gives us strength and keeps us focused. It is especially important for those who carry out their diplomatic service far from the Motherland.
Once again, happy Diplomats’ Day to all. I wish you excellent health, well-being, and new accomplishments for the benefit of the Fatherland.

🗓 On August 8, the ten member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations mark ASEAN Day.
🌏#ASEAN was established on August 8, 1967, in Bangkok by Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines, which signed the Bangkok Declaration. The regional organisation subsequently expanded to include Brunei (1984), Vietnam (1995), Laos and Myanmar (1997), and Cambodia (1999).
ASEAN stands as one of the most successful regional organisations, forming the nucleus for a network of diverse intergovernmental associations engaging Russia and other leading global powers – including the East Asia Summit (#EAS), the ASEAN Regional Forum (#ARF), and the ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting Plus (#ADMMPlus).
Strengthening relations with ASEAN remains one of Russia’s top foreign policy priorities in Asia. The Russian Permanent Mission to ASEAN has been based in Jakarta since 2017. In 2018, Russia-ASEAN ties reached the level of strategic partnership.
📈 In 2024, trade between Russia and ASEAN nations grew by 5.8% to $23.2 billion. During the first nine months of 2024, total capital investments from ASEAN states into the Russian economy amounted to $2.3 billion, while total Russian investments in Southeast Asia reached $12.4 billion.
ASEAN’s cooperation with the #EAEU and #SCO is progressing successfully, under Memoranda of Understanding signed between ASEAN and the Eurasian Economic Commission (2018) and the SCO Secretariat (2005).
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the inaugural #RussiaASEAN Summit. On July 10, 2025, Kuala Lumpur hosted the annual meeting between Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and the Foreign Ministers of ASEAN member states.
💬Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov:
ASEAN countries’ interest in collaboration with Russia exists irrespective of what is going on in the West and what the United States and its allies are undertaking with respect to them. It is not the case that, “had the West not coerced us, we would not have engaged with Russia.” Not at all. Our friendship started long before the current US administration imposed tariff-based sanctions.
(excerpt from Foreign Minister Lavrov’s Q&A session following the Russia-ASEAN consultations and the East Asia Summit Ministerial Meeting, Kuala Lumpur, July 11, 2025.)

🇺🇳#UNCharterIsOurRules
🌐 International Day of Multilateralism and Diplomacy for Peace was observed on April 24. It was established by UN General Assembly Resolution A/RES/73/127 on December 12, 2018, in order to promote the UN values and to reaffirm the belief of our peoples in the purposes and principles enshrined in its Charter:
“The International Day constitutes a means to promote the values of the United Nations and to reaffirm the faith of our peoples in the purposes and principles enshrined in its Charter, to reaffirm the importance and relevance of multilateralism and international law and to advance the common goal of lasting and sustained peace through diplomacy.”
Russia has consistently supported multilateralism and the leading role of the UN in world affairs, actively participating in efforts to reform and adapt the UN to new international realities.
This is especially relevant today, when the UN and other multilateral institutions have come under unprecedented pressure from a small group of states, and the standing of the World Organisation has been noticeably down, including due to the Secretariat refusing to adhere to the equidistance principle. The collective West keeps attempting to subordinate the Organisation to its narrow self-interests and to impose the controversial concept of a rules-based world order to replace international law.
💬 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov(excerpt from a speech on February 11, 2026):
At the UN platform, in conjunction with our like-minded partners in the Group of Friends in Defence of the UN Charter, we are working to ensure that the principles enshrined in the UN Charter are observed in their full scope, entirety, and interconnection, rather than selectively, as the West prefers.
The UN is going through rough times and is bearing the brunt of profound differences between the world’s leading powers. Nevertheless, the Organisation’s role as a platform for aligning states’ interests is undeniable.
According to the Foreign Policy Concept, Russia prioritises restoring the UN’s role as the central coordinating mechanism for aligning the interests of member states.
Our country contributes to the formation of a more representative, democratic, fair, and multipolar world order with the central coordinating role of the UN, based on respect for cultural diversity, mutually beneficial and equal cooperation among countries.
📄 Excerpt from the Concept:
“The mechanism for shaping universal international legal standards should be based on the free will of sovereign states, and the UN should remain the main venue for progressive development and codification of international law.”
Our shared responsibility is to preserve the UN as a model of multilateralism and coordination in global politics. The path to this end lies through joint work, rejection of claims to any form of exclusivity, and respect for the sovereign equality of states.
At the same time, an important task includes strengthening the potential of multilateral regional associations and integration entities involving Russia, including enhancing the international role of #BRICS, #SCO, #CIS, #EAEU, #CSTO, #RIC, and other interstate associations and international organisations.
