#Outcomes2024 🎙Ishtiaq Hamdani, PTV World: Russia's maritime doctrine considers the Indian Ocean as a region of strategic interest. How can Pakistan use its relations with SCO and BRICS countries in line with this strategy to promote secure and mutually beneficial economic cooperation? What would you say about the current relations between Russia and Pakistan? 💬Sergey Lavrov: Relations are developing in an upward direction. This is the most positive period in many decades. There are a number of projects to restore what was created in the Soviet period for the Pakistani economy. ❗️There is mutual interest in practical cooperation in the fight against terrorism. Pakistan also suffers from it. The fight against terrorism requires joint efforts with your Afghan neighbors, with India, with all SCO members, because Central Asia, Afghanistan and Pakistan are used by "bad people" to plan and implement their criminal plans. The SCO has an anti-terrorist structure. It works well. There is an exchange of information. Taking into account the fact that the financing of terrorism is seriously linked to drug trafficking (a form of organized crime), for several years we have been promoting the initiative to create a single center to combat new threats, including terrorism, drug trafficking, organized crime and human trafficking. This year we will begin to implement such a decision. I would like to emphasize that all these organizational measures are important, but it is more important to build confidence within the SCO, within the format that is currently working on Afghanistan (Russia, China, Pakistan and Iran). We are sure that India's participation would be a step in the right direction. 👉 The SCO and formats on Afghanistan, such as the Moscow format, provide platforms where Pakistan, India and China can communicate more, try to understand each other better, ask questions that concern them, receive and analyze answers. We are ready to help in every possible way. This is in the interest of your countries, our region and the SCO. 🔗More on the Ukrainian settlement, expectations for Donald Trump's administration, and UN Security Council reform

#Outcomes2024 ⚡️Today, at 13:30 (PKT) the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia will host a press conference of the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on the key outcomes of Russian diplomacy in 2024 . 🎙It will be broadcast on the official website of the Russian Foreign Ministry, as well as on our Telegram channel in Russian and English.

Results of the Year with Vladimir Putin (Moscow, Kremlin, 19 December 2024) #Year2024HighlightsRussia#VladimirPutin#Outcomes2024

@RusEmbMalta Press release 🎙 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks and answers to media questions during a news conference on the outcomes of Russian diplomacy in 2024 (January 14, 2025) *** 💬 FM Sergey #Lavrov: We are living in a historical era of confrontation between those who uphold the fundamental principles of international law <...> which have been formulated, set out and put forth in the most important international document – the UN Charter – and those who are not satisfied with that document, who decided <...> that they could not live in accordance with the wishes of the “political West”, <...> those who oppose multipolarity. President of Russia Vladimir Putin has repeatedly explained the true root causes of the special military operation in Ukraine. We had to begin to repel an attack, a war waged against us by the collective West with the main goal of suppressing competition when Russia re-emerged as its strong rival on the international arena. Their main goal was to weaken our country geopolitically, creating direct military threats to us right on our borders, on Russia’s native territories, <...> in an attempt to slash our strategic potential and devalue it as much as possible. The second reason also has to do with the history of the region, only it was more about the people who have lived on that land for centuries. <...> These people were labelled ‘terrorists’ by the current Ukrainian regime, which came to power through a coup d'etat. And when they refused to accept it, that regime launched an all-out offensive against all things Russian. <...> There has been a revival in efforts to oppose the Western diktat, with emerging economies and new centres of financial power in China, India, ASEAN, the Arab world, and CELAC. This group also includes a resurgent Russia together with its allies from the EAEU, the CIS, and CSTO. This also includes the SCO and #BRICS. The United States does not want to have any competitors anywhere, starting with the energy sector. <...> The United States and its allies have placed sanctions policies at the core of what they do on the international stage, including regarding Russia. This demonstrates their refusal to engage in fair economic competition and their commitment to using unfair, aggressive practices for suppressing their opponents. *** #CollectiveWest The West is intoxicated by its perceived “greatness,” its impunity, and its self-endowed authority to dictate the destinies of peoples worldwide. This reflects arrogance and a disdainful attitude towards the rest of the world. It is yet another brazen assertion that when we speak of “democracy,” it signifies merely one thing – “we do as we please.” <...> It is sheer hypocrisy, dictatorial behaviour, disrespect for the populace. #UN UN Security Council reform is needed. Not all countries that bear special responsibility in the global economy, finance, politics, and military affairs are represented in the UN Security Council. It has been pointed out repeatedly that countries such as India and Brazil have long earned permanent Security Council membership on all counts, as has Africa. #RussiaChina Russia-China partnership is among the key factors in stabilising the international arena and the ongoing processes that are used, among other things, to escalate confrontation and hostility in international affairs, which is what our neighbours from NATO engage in under US guidance. #USA#Ukraine As soon as Donald Trump assumes the presidency and articulates his final stance on Ukrainian matters, we will examine it. <...> The increasing reference to the realities “on the ground” is a development likely to be welcomed. #RussiaSerbia Our relations with Serbia are grounded solely in the interests of the Serbian and Russian peoples, as well as our respective states. Our interests align on the vast majority of issues. These relations are rich with specific agreements and projects, including those in the energy sector, approved by our heads of state, governments, and companies. Read in full. #Outcomes2024
