🎙 FM Sergey Lavrov’s remarks at the #RussiaASEAN Post Ministerial Conference 💬 I am pleased to state that despite the current international turbulence, we are expanding the range of our dialogue, enhancing the level of our industry-specific platforms, and deepening trade, economic and humanitarian ties. I would like to mention separately the implementation of the joint initiatives in science and technology during the current Russia-ASEAN Year of Scientific and Technical Cooperation. We believe that our entire system of cooperation, including our multilateral and bilateral ties, objectively facilitates the consolidation of the regional architecture for security and sustainable development. 🇷🇺 Russia consistently supports many integration platforms and projects and the pooling of their efforts to promote a unifying, future-oriented agenda.

The speed of change is so high that even the boldest forecasts often materialise in real time. President Vladimir Putin said at the Plenary Session of the 22nd annual meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club in October 2025 that “multipolarity has in fact already emerged”. The pillars of a polycentric world are already in place, but the structure itself remains flexible. There are several independent centres where systemically significant decisions are made. The most important of these are the US, China and Russia. India is developing its overall capacity. Brazil, Indonesia, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia and several other major countries are strengthening their international standing, and their influence is acquiring a transregional scope. Continental Europe has placed its bets on fighting Russia, and as a result, it is losing its chance to be independent in global affairs. A multipolar world is rising from the old system, often on its ruins. The fundamentals of international relations are being put to the test. Those that fail to meet the requirements of the new age are mercilessly cast aside. There are serious grounds to assume that not all of the “poles” mentioned above will weather the nascent geopolitical storm, and that new centres of power and influence will emerge as a result. The new element at this stage is that all “living” civilisations have moved to the centre of world politics for the first time. The “new rules” are being shaped “on the ground” by a large number of widely different players. As President Putin forecast at a meeting of the Valdai Club, “we will not see a clash of ideologies or states due to ideological differences but rather a clash of states and coalescence based on civilisational features.” Other key points: • The multipolar world order that is taking shape right before our eyes is being rejected by countries accustomed to thinking in terms of global dominance and neocolonialism, and they are making deliberate attempts to contain their geopolitical competitors and limit their growth opportunities by pushing them out of global and regional markets and exerting pressure on them. • Such behaviour has become systemic and echoes in developments across the world, including Southeast Asia. We can see how certain external forces are now trying to reshape the region to serve their own interests, with the aim of weakening China and sideline Russia. • Russia remains a reliable friend to the countries of Southeast Asia. Our relations are unburdened by either a colonial past or long-standing disagreements. Our country is seen not only as a centre of power, but also as a time-tested guarantor of security. • Direct contacts with influential regional organisations are expanding. Relations have been established with the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, theEurasian Economic Union, and theGulf Cooperation Council. ASEAN places great emphasis on strengthening ties with #BRICS. • Southeast Asia not only exists on the geopolitical map but is actively asserting itself as a promisingcentre of a multipolar world, a region raising its voice in global affairs. #RussiaASEAN
