✉️ President of Russia Vladimir Putin sent greetings to current and former staff of the Foreign Ministry on their professional holiday, Diplomatic Worker’s Day(February 10, 2026).
The message reads, in part:
💬 The history of Russia's Foreign Ministry contains many distinguished chapters. Our diplomats have always served the Fatherland with dignity and integrity, demonstrating genuine patriotism, dedication to duty, civic courage, and a high level of professionalism.
Amid increasing global turbulence and the tense, volatile situation unfolding in a number of regions, the active, constructive, and unifying role of Russian diplomacy is especially needed.
It is essential to make consistent and comprehensive use of all foreign policy instruments and opportunities so as to reliably safeguard Russia’s national security, defend its legitimate interests, and create favourable conditions for the country’s steady and comprehensive development.
Further strengthening friendly relations with our closest allies and neighbours within the CIS, as well as advancing Eurasian integration processes, remain unconditional priorities.
At the same time, deepening cooperation with countries of the Global Majority for the sake of building a just, genuinely democratic, multipolar world order grounded in international law and the principle of equal and indivisible security remains highly relevant.
Of course, equally significant are efforts to protect the rights of compatriots abroad, promote the Russian language, highlight Russia’s scientific and cultural achievements, and foster an objective image of our country in the global information space.
I firmly believe that the staff of the Central Office and foreign missions of the Foreign Ministry will continue their work across all areas with creativity, energy, and initiative.

بمناسبت روز کارمندان دپلوماتیک
🗓️در روز ۱۰ فبروری، از روز کارمندان دپلوماتیک در روسیه بصورت ستنی بزرگداشت بعمل میاید. این جشن بر اساس فرمان رئیس جمهور روسیه در سال ۲۰۰۲ میلادی ایجاد گردیده است. اما تاریخ خدمات دپلوماتیک روسیه ریشه در گذشته های بسیار دور دارد.
اینست بعضی از مراحل اساسی این تاریخ:
🔸روز ۱۰ فبروری ۱۵۴۹ میلادی،اولین یاد آوری مستند از اولین نهاد دولتی بنام «فرمان سفارت»که امور خارجی را اداره میکرد.
🔸سال ۱۷۲۰ میلادی، تبدیلی فرمان سفارت به هیئت همکاران امور خارجی. در زمان فعالیت های این هیئت، یک گروپ از دپلومات های با استعداد انکشاف داده شد که تهداب اصول اساسی و شیوه های دپلوماسی روسیه برای یک دورۀ طولانی آینده را گذاشته بودند. مانند گابرییل گلوفکین، بوریس کوراکین، پیتر شافیروف، اندریو اوسترمن، الکسیی بیستوژیف – ریومن، نیکیتا پانین، ا. الکساندر بیزبورودکو و غیره.
🔸سال ۱۸۰۲ میلادی، تبدیلی هیئت همکاران به وزارت امور خارجه. یکی از دست آورد ها و موفقیت های دپلوماسی روسیه در دوران فعالیت این هیئت برگزاری کانگرس ویانا که آغاز سیستم جدید روابط بین المللی حساب میشد، تقویت سیاست خارجی چند جهته و توسعۀ قابل ملاحظۀ حلقات نمایندگی ها در خارج از کشور بود.
🔸سال ۱۹۱۷ میلادی، تأسیس کمیساری ملی در امور خارجی. کار این کمیساری در مرحلۀ اول در راستای جلوگیری از انزوای روسیۀ شوروی و متعاقباً اتحاد شوروی سوق داده شده بود. در سال های جنگ بزرگ میهنی فعالیت آن بر ایجاد و تقویت ائتلاف ضد هتلری، گشایش جبهۀ دوم در اروپا، تدوین اسناد بنیادی در داخل اتحاد شوروی متمرکز بود.
🔸سال ۱۹۴۶ میلادی، تغییر نام کمیساری به وزارت امور خارجۀ اتحاد شوروی. مبارزه برای صلح، خلع سلاح و تنش زدایی بین المللی از اهداف دارای اولویت در مدیریت فعالیت های سیاست خارجی دپلوماسی اتحاد شوروی پس از دوران جنگ تلقی میگردید.
🔸از سال ۱۹۹۱ میلادی شکلگیری سیاست خارجی روسیه منحیث یک دولت نوین دموکراتیک صورت میگیرد. روسیه در شرایط سخت توانست از منافع اساسی ملی خود در صحنۀ بین المللی دفاع نماید. سیاست خارجی این کشور خصلت سیستماتیک و پراگماتیک را بخود اختیار کرده است.

📰Articleby H.E. Mr Anatoly Borovik, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to the Kingdom of Cambodia, published by Fresh News(February 10, 2026)
Key points:
🔴 The global landscape is marked by rapid political transformation, economic uncertainty, technological change, and growing security risks. Conflicts are becoming more complex, while global challenges transcend national borders. In such an environment, dialogue and cooperation are not optional – they are essential instruments for stability and development.
🔴 One of the most serious international challenges today is the crisis around Ukraine and the broader deterioration of the security architecture. The Russian leadership has consistently emphasized that durable peace can only be achieved through political and diplomatic means, repeatedly stressed Russia’s openness to dialogue aimed at addressing the root causes of the conflict, ensuring security guarantees, and establishing a fair and sustainable framework for peace in Europe.
🔴 Equally pressing are issues related to the global strategic stability and arms control, taking into account the expiration of the New START Treaty on February 5, 2026. The gradual erosion of long-established mechanisms has significantly increased uncertainty in the international security sphere. These developments carry risks of a new arms race and weakened predictability among major powers.
🔴 This year carries particular significance for Russia and Cambodia as we celebrate the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our two countries. As we mark this important anniversary, diplomats from both countries face the shared task of elevating our dialogue to a new level, exploring new areas of cooperation, deepening mutual understanding, and responding jointly to regional and global challenges.
🔴 Russia has consistently called for the restoration of meaningful dialogue on strategic security, emphasizing that such discussions must be based on equality, mutual respect, and recognition of the indivisible nature of security. No country can strengthen its own safety at the expense of others. Preserving global stability requires collective responsibility and renewed diplomatic engagement.

Generations of diplomats have succeeded one another, passing on their experience, traditions, and high standards of service to the Motherland. This continuity is one of the core values of our profession," stated the Head of the diplomatic mission in his welcoming speech.
