🗓 On January 27, 2026, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrovheld a meeting in Moscow with Co-Facilitators for the Intergovernmental Negotiations (IGN) on UN Security Council Reform, Permanent Representatives of Kuwait and the Netherlands to the UN Tareq Albanai and Lise Gregoire van Haaren. The Parties focused on the current round of negotiations held as part of the 80th Session of the UN General Assembly. Sergey Lavrov reiterated Russia’s position of principle in support of a coordinated Security Council reform, aimed at enhancing this body’s prestige and effectiveness and at making it more democratic through an expanded representation of Global South and East countries. The Parties also stated that significant differences persisted among the IGN participants on all key aspects of the reform process. This being so, it was necessary to go on with a thorough discussion of this agenda in the current format of intergovernmental negotiations, while avoiding to set any deadlines in the interests of reaching as broad an agreement as possible among the member states. #UNCharterIsOurRules
