📺 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the G20 foreign ministers’ meeting on the sidelines of the 79th Session. 📍 New York, September 25, 2024 💬 The formation of a multilateral world requires upgrading of the international governance architecture, if we want to build a more just and democratic world order based on the enduring principles of the UN Charter in their entirety and interconnection. #G20, as a leading economic forum, can give a powerful boost to these objective processes that are dictated by life itself. We believe that the G20 should strictly adhere to its mandate and not delve into issues of peace and security and other universal problems, which the UN is here to deal with. It is important that the activities of our platform are strictly based on the principle of consensus. At the G20 summit in New Delhi in 2023, we promised to strengthen the voice of developing countries in collective decision-making. It is necessary to translate these promises into concrete actions. The reform of international institutions, which must be considered as global public goods, should be carried out taking into account the interests of new growing centres of global development. The current conditions show that there have been significant changes in the balance of economic leaders. 📈 Two years ago, BRICS member countries surpassed the G7 in terms of real GDP. According to forecasts, the ten BRICS members will produce about 37% of the world’s output, while the G7 group will fall to 27% or even lower. At the same time, we can see the African continent and other regions of the Global South and East quickly rising. Russia is actively reorienting its trade to their markets. This includes the Asia-Pacific region, Latin America and the Caribbean, South Asia, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. 🌐Innovative multilateral formats such as #BRICS (where Russia presides in 2024), the SCO, the EAEU, ASEAN, the African Union, and CELAC are becoming increasingly important. Projects designed to align integration efforts, such as Russia’s flagship Greater Eurasian Partnership initiative, are picking up momentum. <...> A tangible progress has been achieved in the context of efforts to de-dollarise the international financial and economic system. In particular, the share of national currencies in Russia’s settlements with the SCO and EAEU countries has exceeded 90%. Russia and its BRICS partners have achieved an indicator equal to 65%, and this figure grows. The share of the dollar in the BRICS payments pattern is currently below 29%. <...> 🤷‍♂️ Nevertheless, certain global mechanisms are still in the West’s hands, and it tends to abuse them. A matter of particular concern are the attempts on the part of the United States and its allies to impose a confrontational agenda on international organisations in order to make them the vehicles of unilateral restrictions, plunder, impoundment of sovereign assets, trade wars and unfair competition, including in the name of environmentalism and climate. All of these are clear manifestations of neocolonialism. Over the past ten years, the collective West has introduced more than 21,000 illegal restrictions against Russia alone. Their extraterritorial use – and this is an even more odious, illegitimate, raider-style approach – is primarily affecting the poorest countries and destitute population groups, depriving them of affordable energy, food and fertiliser. <...> Another topical task is combat the predominance and influence of Western states’ citizens who occupy top positions in international secretariats. 🇺🇳 A reform of the global governance system should heed the intransient central role of the UN in the system of international relations. The UN Charter and international law should not be substituted by any behind-the-scenes "rules". <...> ☝️ We should be guided by a striving to achieve genuine multilateralism, the main guarantee of strategic stability, indivisible security and an open and non-discriminatory economy.

🎙 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the G20 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting on the G20’s objectives in 2025, a discussion of planned results of South Africa’s Presidency and an assessment of the forum’s activities (Johannesburg, February 21, 2025) 💬 In conditions of global economic fragmentation, a dialogue on global issues in the #G20 remains in high demand as never before. We commend the Republic of South Africa’s substantial preparations for the forum and the topicality of chosen thematic priorities. We are particularly impressed with the emphasis on a search for a common denominator in the interests of combining efforts to facilitate sustained growth and development. We still have a long way to go for attaining the desired results, and the overall background for joint work in conditions of geopolitical confrontation, that is being incited, remains unfavourable. The statistics are well-known: We are lagging far behind a schedule for achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals until 2030, and only 17% of them are on track. <...> Historical experience shows that it is impossible to independently cope with common challenges and threats. This is why the G20 was established in 2008 at the level of national leaders. At that time, it was necessary to put out the fire of a global financial crisis in emergency circumstances. It became possible to stabilise markets for a while. ❗️ However, we are now witnessing an entire cascade of intertwined crises. Behind them are armed conflicts that have been unleashed and inspired by the West, trade, technological and hybrid wars, the demolition of the international trade system, the weaponisation of the dollar that has turned into a tool for manipulations. <...> ☝️ Nevertheless, the modern world is being transformed drastically and becoming truly multipolar. The 500-year period of Western domination is irreversibly becoming a thing of the past. It is necessary to find the strength and to accept this objective reality. The international community does not want to be hostage to unilateral decisions of former sovereigns. This is particularly obvious today when we are celebrating the 80th Anniversary of Victory in the war against Nazism and the 65th anniversary of the UN Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples as a starting point of acquiring independence by Africa, Asia and the entire Global South. In 2022, #BRICSconfidently outpaced the G7 in terms of GDP. Today, BRICS and the G7 account for 37 and 29 percent of the global GDP, respectively. <...> During Russia’s #BRICS Chairmanship at the Kazan Summit in 2024, the participants adopted multiple promising decisions to launch non-discriminatory, independent of anyone’s whim mechanisms stimulating investment and trade, with due consideration for Africa’s special needs. The neo-liberal circles in the West regard the objective process of burgeoning multipolarity as a challenge rather than an opportunity. They are putting an absurd stake on a confrontation, on inflicting a “strategic defeat” on rivals. In so doing, they use neocolonialist practices <...> Under these circumstances, G20 retains its status as a useful venue for aligning the interests of states with different strategies and development levels, this primarily due to the efforts of BRICS countries. <...> 🤝We share South Africa’s plans to survey the G20 activities over past years. We hope that the result will enable us to reaffirm our commitment to de-politicised interaction based on the unshakeable principle of consensus with an eye to implementing the task to ensure a sustainable and comprehensive economic growth, a task set back in 2009. This would be a worthy result of Africa’s first ever G20 Summit. Read in full

🌐In just a few minutes, the opening of the #G20 Foreign Ministers' meeting will take place in Johannesburg. The Russian delegation will be led by Sergey Lavrov, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation. South Africa’s chairmanship of the #G20 is a significant event not only for Pretoria but also for the entire African continent, which will host #G20 events for the first time. 🤝The presidency will be held under the slogan "Solidarity, Equality and Sustainability” continuing the efforts of the previous presidencies to establish the #G20 as a key platform for genuinely equal dialogue between developing and developed countries. ☝️ During South Africa's leadership of the forum #BRICS partners have already achieved significant results in adapting the #G20 agenda to the urgent needs of a multipolar world order and in the democratization of international economic governance institutions in the interests of non-Western power centers. Countries with emerging markets are increasingly collectively advancing independent, balanced views on energy and food security, unilateral economic pressure and other forms of unfair competition. Key political momentum for the #G20 this year comes from important anniversaries: the 80th anniversary of the Victory in World War II and the founding of the United Nations, as well as the 65th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples, initiated by the USSR, which launched the process of establishing independent states in Africa. During the Foreign Ministers' meeting, the impact of the current geopolitical situation on the global economy is expected to be thoroughly discussed. Additionally, there will be an exchange of key assessments regarding the priorities for negotiation efforts put forward by Pretoria, aimed at promoting dynamic economic growth, reducing inequality, creating quality jobs, ensuring food security, and providing access to advanced technologies and financing on fair terms. 👉 In his speeches, Sergey V. Lavrov will provide a detailed overview of the current international situation, focusing on the root causes and driving forces behind key events, emphasizing the unacceptability of maintaining the confrontational line of neoliberal elites, and proposing specific actions to overcome destructive phenomena. The Russian side will reaffirm its commitment to maintaining the central role of the UN in global affairs, emphasizing the necessity of strictly adhering to the principles of the UN Charter in their entirety and interconnection. 🇷🇺 In the context of implementing the priorities of South Africa’s presidency, Russia will: • Draw attention to the need for practical steps to quickly redistribute IMF voting quotas in favor of developing countries • Work towards the full restoration of the WTO's functionality • Advocate for maintaining an open global economy and rejecting its use as a weapon. The Russian Minister will underscore the inadmissibility of trade wars, unilateral restrictions, and other forms of discriminatory approaches.

🗓 On September 11, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrovmet with a prominent South African public and political figure, former Minister of International Relations and Cooperation of South Africa Lindiwe Sisula, who is visiting Moscow to participate in the ceremony to award the Leo Tolstoy International Peace Prize, as a jury member. 🤝 The discussion focused on current issues pertaining to further strengthening the traditionally friendly relations between Russia and South Africa, including the development of inter-party and inter-parliamentary ties and building up mutually beneficial trade, economic and humanitarian cooperation, as well as opportunities for deepening foreign policy coordination within #BRICS, the #G20 and the United Nations.

#news К вопросу чести среди воров и громких экзит-скамов. Один наркомаркет в даркнете на днях провернул последний, и пользователи платформы лишились миллионов долларов на счетах. Но на этом владельцы не остановились и выдали ещё один неприятный сюрприз. Вкратце, «У нас ваши сообщения, транзакции и история заказов, с вас $100-20,000, или сольём всё органам. Да, это вымогательство!» Маркет обещает опубликовать историю 557 тысяч заказов и 862 тысяч транзакций к концу мая. А до тех пор покупатели могут нервно потеть и трястись, глядя на список продавцов, выплативших выкуп. Отдельно за мелкий прайс самим юзерам вскоре предложат удалить свои данные из базы. В общем, наркомаркет знакомится с методами рансомварь-сцены, такой вот нечестивый союз. Иронии происходящему добавляет название платформы. Incognito. Ну и кто теперь инкогнито, маленький любитель мефедрона? @tomhunter

💬Роль «Группы 20» должна быть определяющей в разработке новых источников роста, нивелировании рисков и развитии возможностей мировой экономики Об этом заявил Министр финансов РФ Антон Силуанов на встрече министров финансов и управляющих центральными банками «Группы 20» в Кейптауне. На первой встрече глав финансовых ведомств «двадцатки» обсуждались вопросы макроэкономических рисков и возможностей для развития мировой экономики, реформирования международной финансовой архитектуры, инвестиции в инфраструктуру и совершенствование международного налогообложения. 📈 Антон Силуанов отметил, что мировая экономика находится в ситуации, когда фокус смещается в сторону защиты национальных интересов. Это новый формат работы, который дает и новые возможности. Необходимо совместно договариваться, как управлять рисками в глобальной экономике и решать задачи. «Искусственный интеллект будет ключевым источником роста в ближайшей перспективе, а развитие децентрализованных финансов поможет существенно снизить издержки для мировой экономики и увеличить рост. Глобальная безопасность выиграет от развития альтернативных решений в области международных финансов. Роль «двадцатки» должна быть определяющей в разработке новых источников роста, нивелировании рисков и развитии новых возможностей», — сказал Министр. Финансовая инфраструктура — платёжная, инвестиционная и страховая — ключевой элемент финансовой архитектуры. И она должна быть равнодоступной. Антон Силуанов отметил рост стоимости текущей инфраструктуры, а также риски ее использования. «В наших общих интересах сделать так, чтобы финансовая система работала бесперебойно и с меньшими издержками. Выгоды от использования финансовой инфраструктуры должны распределяться справедливо», — подчеркнул он. 📌Подробнее @minfin #G20
